The main objective of the project is to integrate Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (Sustainable Development Goal 4.7) into the system of training and retraining teaching professionals.

Trainings allowed to upgrade and improve the competences of participants, which in turn will affect the quality of education as a whole in the country. Teachers gained new knowledge, skills and understanding of social behavior and values that are necessary to ensure the transition to a sustainable society.
