| Areas of Work | GAP Spain is active in the field of education for sustainable development, and related programmes for sustainable behaviour change. In addition, GAP Spain implements communicative and practical tools - many being digitally based - and methodologies, and organises trainings and courses with adults and youth. | ||
| Collaboration Opportunities | GAP Spain has a history of collaborating with a wide selection of partners, ranging from local government to communities and businesses. The organisation offers a comprehensive range of programmes, all aimed at encouraging a more sustainable way of living. | ||
| Project Highlights | Actívate+ The programme is based on covering the province of Bizkaia over a six-year period, with a project based on two GAP programmes: Environmental Champions & Programa Gap. Local schools adopt an energy and/or waste programme that is run during the academic year. The local community is involved, whereby households participate in a web-based programme to reduce their environmental impact, first by incorporating the parents of the schools involved and then by inviting the rest of the community to participate, using the local municipalities to spearhead communication. | Visit | Versión español: http://programagap.org/ |
