Expected Results (FI):

Keskeisimpiin toimenpiteisiin kuuluu tietoisuuden lisääminen ja taitojen kehittäminen jätehuoltoon liittyvin luennoin, tuottaen etäoppimateriaalia sekä järjestäen koulujen, korkeakoulujen ja yliopistojen opiskelijoiden vierailuja opettajien kanssa. Konkreettisina kohteina ovat Lisinon metsän tutkimus- ja koulutuskeskus ja Lisinon metsäopisto sekä Novy Svet jätehuolto- ja kierrätysasema. Pitkällä tähtäimellä hanke tukee alueellista työllisyyttä tarjoamalla lähtökohdan tarvittavien asiantuntijoiden ja yrittäjien koulutukselle jätehuollon lisätoiminnan kehittämiseksi.
