Global African Dialogue Foundation has just concluded the It’s Time Project Learning Teaching and Training Activity in Warsaw, Poland, from February 26 to March 1, 2024, at the Warsaw Multicultural Centre, Jagiellońska 54, 03-463 Warszawa. Thirty-two teachers from Romania, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Turkiye, Croatia, Hungary, Latvia, and GADO staff from Poland attended this five-day-long training activity as part of the project implementation. The primary goal of this initiative was to improve the capacity of teachers to develop sustainable competencies in their various schools.

The LTTA program consisted of an introduction to sustainable development goals with videos, activity workshops on SDG12 focusing on food waste and how to preserve food, theoretical backgrounds on food waste, and the teachers gave their examples on the topic. There was a discussion on green energy, and it was fun seeing that all the groups understood the topic of green energy. 

As a part of the training program, each group was assessed to create their world where they imagined living in an ideal futuristic city – sustainable, based on renewable energy, and fair trade. They did a short presentation together on how life looks, and they all gave wonderful speeches. There was a workshop activity session on greenwashing and an introduction to SDG 12. All the topics on SDGs were understood by the teachers. Its Time Project is implemented under the  Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
