WHO WE ARE

We are a small group of committed, eco-hearted non-formal trainers who have witnessed the urgent need to improve ecoliteracy among people of all ages and social backgrounds. While there are some great initiatives and resource collections available, we felt need for a comprehensive and user-friendly platform to support fellow trainers and like-minded individuals in making ecoliteracy more accessible and impactful.

The Ecoliteracy Hub is the realization of a long-held dream by two NGOs dedicated to ‘eco’ education for decades. Its mission is to support people in developing their eco-intelligence and based on that awareness, take meaningful steps and actions toward a positive future.

Asociación Biodiversa and Szatyor Association have combined their expertise in an Erasmus+ Adult Education program — and this website, along with the Pool of Eco-Trainers, are the main outcomes of this collaboration.

We hope to continue this work in the long term, together with other NGOs, allie and supporters, to promote ecoliteracy and inspire change in communities across Europe and beyond.

Szatyor Association

Hungary

Szatyor Association is dedicated to raising awareness about the positive environmental impacts of sustainable living and conscious consumption. We promote ecological approaches through education, project and event management, and social entrepreneurship. Our mission is to create a space for sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices in socio-ecological sustainability. As an alternative green organization, we aim to demonstrate how conscious lifestyle choices, healthy living, organic production, and a fair economy can be meaningfully integrated into everyday life.

Our primary focus areas include sustainable community development, education on ecoliteracy and the GreenComp Framework, promoting sustainable lifestyles in rural areas, exploring degrowth and deep ecology, applying permaculture practices, and empowering youth workers through ‘training of trainers’ programs that highlight the value of non formal education.
