The NewEcoSmart project announces the first scientific publication from Work Package 4 (WP4), featured in the International Journal TRIA.
The article presents a mixed-methods approach to designing personalised training actions that improve green and digital skills among vulnerable adults aged 45+ in rural areas across Europe.
By combining territorial diagnostics, GIS mapping, and co-design workshops, the NES methodology helps align training content with the real needs of participants. Early results show promising impacts on employability, social inclusion, and sustainability.
Co-authored by experts from Federico II University of Naples and CEIPES – Italy; CETEM and Ayuntamiento de Yecla – Spain; AD ELO and SHINE2Europe, Portugal; the article reflects the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of the NES approach.
This marks an important milestone in promoting just green and digital transitions through evidence-based, context-sensitive strategies.
