Erasmus+ timeline
Notes: Management, coordination, dissemination plan, reporting.
Status: Planned
Purpose: For our project to achieve its goals, our project will have a comprehensive management and dissemination budget that our partners can benefit from. This budget will contribute to the implementation of various activities planned during the project process and the effective dissemination of the project. Areas of Use of the Budget: Educational Activities: In our project activities, there will be educators that institutions cannot provide with their means. The fees of these educators will be covered by this budget. Workshops on plant cultivation will be organized in our activities. This budget will be used to provide the necessary educational materials and equipment for these studies. No budget has been allocated for the participants of the host organization in the activities. Host organizations will cover the possible expenses of their participants from this budget and eliminate the risk of achieving the goals. Project Dissemination Activities: This budget will be used to organize the dissemination activities, promotion campaigns, and information meetings of the project. Our website, which we will prepare as a dissemination tool, will be created with this budget. For the project results and successes to be permanent and contribute to the project’s recognition and sustainability, our partners will cover advertising and promotional products with this budget. Project Management: Partners will be able to benefit from this budget for possible expenses from project management. Thus, there will be no disruptions in the management of the project due to costs. Partners will be responsible to the project coordinator for the spending of the management budget in line with the project’s objectives. Risk Management: The management budget can be used for risks that may be encountered during the project process. The risk plan to be created at the first meeting of the project will specify how this budget will be used.
Agenda: Roles, timeline, tools, communication.

Purpose: Our Event Content: Adults will learn the equipment to be used in growing plants on their balconies. Adults will benefit from the creativity of educators on how to make some of the equipment needed to grow plants on balconies from waste. Secondly, studies will be carried out to produce natural fertilizer from natural waste or fruit and vegetable waste that adults can use to grow plants on balconies. This event will provide adults with the ability to evaluate their waste and produce natural fertilizer for plants. Documents will be prepared and shared for our website and social media accounts about making agricultural tools from waste and natural fertilizers in this event. Event Program: 1 day *Negative effects of global warming on agricultural product production. *Getting to know the equipment to be used to grow plants on balconies. *Learning the use and areas of use of equipment used in plant cultivation. *Practical information on how to make agricultural tools that can be used to grow plants on balconies from waste. 2nd day *Workshops will be held for making agricultural tools from waste. *Creating documents on what agricultural tools made from waste will be used for. (Photographs of these tools will be taken and their areas of use will be published on our website and social media accounts) 3.4. Days *Soil mixtures and the amount of nutrients they will need will be learned according to the characteristics of plants. *Making fertilizer from natural waste: Participants will learn about the types of fertilizer production from natural waste and work on fertilizer production. A-Composting: Creating a compost pile with your organic kitchen waste and garden waste. B-Animal Manure: Getting technical information on the use and preparation of this fertilizer. 5. Day Participants will prepare fertilizer mixtures in groups and prepare documents on how to prepare these mixtures and how and for what they will be used.
Workshop: Soil, watering, seasonal plan.
Materials: Seed kits, guides.
Purpose: In the previous activity of our project, we learned about the introduction and production of equipment for growing plants on balconies, proper soil preparation and making fertilizer from natural waste. In this activity, studies will be carried out on the classification of plants according to climatic conditions, the location of balconies according to the sun, their growth characteristics, the classification of plants according to seasonal growth characteristics and the design of balconies in a way that will save energy. Summary of these 6-day studies: *Participants will work on planting plants on a balcony suitable for growing plants through group work. 1-Group Formation: Participants will be divided into groups with adults. People with different skills and experiences in agricultural issues will be brought together and mutual learning will be encouraged. 2-Balcony Evaluation: Each group will work on a balcony or an area allocated to them. An evaluation will be made with energy efficiency experts on the exposure to sunlight, wind and temperature of these balconies. 3-Plant Selection: Groups will choose the most suitable plants for the conditions of the specified balconies or areas. (Climate, sunlight and other growth factors should be taken into consideration.) 4-Plant Transplantation and Planting: A plan will be created for the appropriate planting and planting of the selected plants. Each group will plant according to this plan. 5-Sharing of Information and Experience: Information and experience will be shared between the groups. They will learn from each other about balcony design according to energy efficiency. 6-Evaluation: Each group will evaluate their work by the other groups. The groups will discuss among themselves what they were successful in and what difficulties they encountered. (In these activities, the Slovenian partner will prepare agricultural materials and fertilizers from the waste learned in the previous activity.)
Output: Handbook, curriculum, digital assets.
QA: Review + translations.
Purpose: Intellectual Output: The partnership led by Slovakia CERD will create an intellectual output. The content of the intellectual output will be to teach plant-growing techniques to adults, taking into account energy efficiency on balconies. The topics to be covered in the intellectual output: *Designing balconies for plant growing, taking into account energy efficiency, *Equipment that can be made from waste to be used for plant growing on balconies, *Examples of equipment production using waste, *Making fertilizer at home from vegetable and fruit waste for these plants, *Practical information on planting and sowing plants The intellectual output of our project will be prepared as a digital book. This book will be at least 100 pages long. Our partners will assist the Slovakian CERD Association in preparing the book and language translations, and in creating the intellectual output. Multiplier Events: Our partners will carry out this activity of our project in their own countries. This activity of our project will be an event where our intellectual output, the digital book, will be disseminated. Adult educators will be invited to the multiplier events of our project. These educators will not be educators or administrators working at our partners’ institutions. Our multiplier events will last one day. Partners will invite at least 120 educators and administrators from their own countries to this event. Each partner will hold multiplier events in their own country. Our event program: -Information about global warming and climate change, -Decrease in agricultural products due to global warming, -Why should we fight global warming? -Introducing our project and its goals, -Why did we decide to write this project? -Introducing our intellectual output -Surveys and evaluation

Purpose: At the opening meeting of our project; Relevant duties have been given to the partners for the management of our project and project managers who will fulfil this management task have been appointed. With this meeting, we will receive qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the officers appointed to the project management regarding the results of the project. The quality monitoring officer of the project will announce the result report of the online meetings he held with the dissemination officer and the person responsible for the surveys during the project process. Data regarding qualitative and quantitative success and achievement of goals in these reports will be shared with the participants. The project will be completed according to the schedule, the risk prevention plan and budget will be reviewed and any problems will be eliminated. This meeting will be held to evaluate the impact of the results of the activities carried out in our project on adults. Our partners will evaluate whether the goals we set in our project have been achieved. If there are project activities aimed at targets that cannot be completed during the project process, our partners will make decisions to fulfil these activities. Our partners will inform our partners about the positive effects of our project in their institutions and countries. Our partners will share their observations and evaluations with our partnership about what the project results have changed in the lives of adults in their countries, how they affect adult education institutions, and what kind of social impact they have on global warming. Our partners will make decisions regarding the sustainability of the project. Our partners will discuss and make decisions about how they will assist the project coordinator, CERD, and how they will cooperate in the preparation of the final report of the project.
