The premise of the project is that mental disorders are the fastest-growing category of diseases with which health systems must cope and that a high-quality education promoting emotional, social and cognitive development is widely recognized as key to successful interventions in breaking the cycle of intergenerational disadvantage. The project will promote an educational approach to foster good mental health through empathy, self-discovery and expression, creativity and innovation in pre-adolescents/adolescents and to support them in better understanding themselves and finding commonality with others. Partners will create an innovative curriculum with specific competencies and methods to identify and support students’ identity formation and to address challenging behaviours and strong emotional responses.
Our partners in this project are Institut IVIZ (Slovenia), Red Europea los Jóvenes importan ahora (Spain) and Unglingasmiðjurnar Stígur og Tröð (Iceland).

Sustainability, Heritage, Health
We are the lead partner for the 3 year, €203,000, Erasmus+ European funded project Sustainability, Heritage, Health.
The project’s main goal is to connect European cultural heritage with human and environmental health. This includes guided walking routes and a recipe book to highlight European culture, promote exercise, mindfulness, nutrition, and work towards sustainability goals. The walking routes, the recipe book and all the activities associated with the project will be put into a mobile application that people will be able to access from anywhere in Europe.
Our partners in this project are Centro de Estudios Ecológicos Abrazohouse (Spain), Innovation Frontiers IKE (Greece) and VsI Ziniu Kodas (Lithuania).

A Tale of Two Futures
Together with partner organisations Dom Spain from Spain and Ziniu Kodas from Lithuania, we led a 3 year, €179,000, Erasmus+ project with a focus on communicating solutions to energy issues and climate change at the local, European and national levels. Please visit the project’s platform where you can look up environmentally friendly initiatives around the world.
The Erasmus+ evaluators praised the project for having the ability to address the objectives and priorities set out in the Erasmus + programme guide “to design and implement effective provision for enhancing basic skills and key competencies and inclusive education, training and youth”, as well as for targeting educators to develop “new pedagogical approaches to train people in climate change and energy use.”

Environmental Learning Illustrated
Along with our partners, Volontariato Torino from Italy, the Centre for Education and Entrepreneurship Support (CEES) from Poland, and E.N.T.E.R Network from Austria, we led a 2 year, €170,000, Erasmus+ project with a focus on communicating aspects about climate change and other environmental issues at the local, national, European and international levels.
The first part of the project was the creation of an interactive online platform where participants can learn about different topics related to a deterioration of the global environments. Welcome to the free e-learning platform here and scroll down for access.
The second part aimed at illustrating the main themes covered in the platform with the aid of graphic novel. You’ll find the graphic novel The story of Eli.

Scottish Government Funded Projects
Climate Conversations for The Scottish Government
Surefoot worked with the Scottish Government on 3 Climate Conversations projects. In each we facilitated conversations with the public about climate change, its impacts and potential solutions. The findings helped to inform the development of climate change measures in Scotland. One of the findings indicated there is a general acceptance of anthropogenic climate change, but that understanding of its impacts and remedies are limited.
Reports about Climate Conversations in these projects are available here:

Communities with a Common Cause
Surefoot and several of our associates are part of a Common Cause network. The work has included in the past running half day and full days workshops and designing and delivering the UNESCO awarding Action Learning Programme (ALP) ‘Communities with a Common Cause‘ supported by the Scottish Government.
In the ALP, We worked with 2 members from 8 communities on environmental issues. The aim was to develop and pilot an approach to putting Common Cause into practice that can be replicated more widely.
