The project's goal is to develop an educational model for sustainable development for employees within the welfare regions of Southwest Finland and Ostrobothnia, thereby increasing the number of trained experts and responsible persons in sustainable development. Another objective is to assess the staff's level of competence and needs in sustainable development, as well as to test the developed educational model through a pilot initiative.The bilingual training in sustainable development, developed within the project, can be completed either entirely as online studies or as hybrid studies. The training consists of two parts:
1) A basic training in sustainable development within the welfare region, with the same content for all employees.
2) Advanced training based on the nature and specific needs of the work unit.
