WHAT IS Eco-ToT Long-Term Training Course?
Eco-ToT is a 9-month educational programme for trainers active in international youth work to explore and improve our own ecological literacy and to learn how to facilitate eco-competence development through the training courses we design and deliver. Participants that successfully complete the Eco-ToT will become part of a Pool of EcoTrainers (PoET), a community of eco-trainers and their associations working in the field of ecoliteracy. For more deilas: www.ecoliteracy.eu

AIM OF THIS LEARNING PROCESS

  • to walk participants through a process by which they become more ecoliterate
  • to explore how non-formal education can contribute to young people becoming more ecoliterate
  • to gain deeper understanding of systematic problems and challenges
  • to facilitate deep, meaningful connection with nature, in order to support participants in developing their eco-competences
  • to empower, equip, and motivate participants toward environmental-related education
  • to enhance the integration of the GreenComp Framework in participants' practices
  • to create a community of professionals who use non-formal methods for education for sustainability.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The learning experience includes two six-day residential events held at the Szatyor Community House in Etyek, Hungary, along with an online mentoring process in between.

The first residential training, taking place from 12-19 of October 2025 (12th and the 19th are the traveling days), will guide you through a journey to enhance your ecoliteracy, emphasising the crucial role of (non-formal) education in achieving environmental sustainability. You'll be introduced to approaches such as systems thinking, nature connection, and mindfulness, among others. Additionally, the program will include practical ways to incorporate the GreenComp framework into the trainings you design and deliver.

The online mentoring will support you in implementing what you have learned. This phase will combine mentoring by an experienced eco-trainer and peer support group sessions. The estimated time commitment for this phase is 1-2 hours per month, from November 2025 to May 2026.

The second residential training, running from 12-19 of June, 2026 (12th and the 19th are the traveling days), will build on your experiences gained during the implementation phase. This training will provide you with additional tools and methods to further develop your and your trainee's ecoliteracy. We will explore how to enhance the impact of our work and engage participants in deeper learning. 

The training is hosted by Szatyor Association in Hungary and organized in cooperation with Asociación Biodiversa in Spain. It is funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
