PROJECT CODE: 2023-1-DE02-KA210-ADU-000166226 DURATION: 01-09-2023 to 31/08/2025
Dates: 27.01.2025 & 03.02.2025 Location: Online (Zoom) Time: 14:00 CET
The two-day online workshop, held on 27.01.2025 and 03.02.2025 online , aimed to introduce participants to a Climate Change MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) and gather feedback on its usability and content. On Day 1, the session began with a warm welcome, an introduction to the facilitators, and an overview of the workshop objectives. This was followed by a 10-minute presentation on global climate change, highlighting its consequences and the importance of mitigation and adaptation. The core of the day focused on introducing the MOOC, including its goals, structure, and content, complemented by a navigation tutorial and interactive demo. Participants were then given the opportunity to ask questions during a brief Q&A session. The day concluded with an individual assignment, where participants explored the MOOC independently, taking notes on its usability, content, and overall experience.
Day 2 commenced with a recap of the first session and a warm welcome back. The highlight of the day was a 40-minute interactive discussion, where participants shared their experiences with the MOOC, identifying its strengths and areas for improvement. This was followed by a 10-minute feedback collection session, including a group discussion on the MOOC’s usability, content, and effectiveness. Participants also completed an evaluation survey to provide structured feedback. The workshop concluded with a thank you note, marking the end of a productive and engaging exploration of the Climate Change MOOC. including its goals, structure, and content, complemented by a navigation tutorial and interactive demo. Participants were then given the opportunity to ask questions during a brief Q&A session. The day concluded with an individual assignment, where participants explored the MOOC independently, taking notes on its usability, content, and overall experience.
Flyers were distributed digitally to promote the event, and a diverse group of participants, including educators, environmental professionals, and stud Screenshots from the Zoom sessions captured key moments, such as presentations, discussions, and interactive activities. This workshop successfully achieved its objectives, fostering meaningful engagement and gathering valuable insights for further improvement of the MOOC.

Overview
CC4Forest (Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation via Forest Management) is an Erasmus+ initiative to address climate change through sustainable forest management practices. The project focuses on raising awareness and equipping adult learners, educators, and small business owners with the necessary tools and knowledge to implement effective forest management strategies.
Objectives
Increase Awareness: Educate adult learners, educators, and small business owners about the critical role of forest management in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
Provide Practical Tools: Provide guidance and resources for implementing sustainable forest management practices that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Negative Consequences
Rising Temperatures: Global average temperatures have been steadily increasing, leading to more frequent and severe heatwaves. Melting Ice Caps and Rising Sea Levels: Polar ice caps and glaciers are melting, contributing to rising sea levels, which threaten coastal communities and ecosystems. Extreme Weather Events: Increased intensity and frequency of hurricanes, storms, droughts, and floods, causing destruction and loss of life. Biodiversity Loss: Many species are unable to adapt to rapidly changing climates, leading to habitat loss and extinction.
Importance of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Mitigation: Reducing or preventing the emission of GHGs to limit the magnitude of future warming. Renewable Energy: Transitioning to wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Energy Efficiency: Improving energy use in industries, transportation, and homes to lower overall emissions. Reforestation: Planting trees to absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and restore natural carbon sinks. Sustainable Agriculture: Adopting practices that reduce GHG emissions and enhance soil carbon storage.
