The best practice of the project is involving people from socially disadvantaged groups as informal educators. Examples of involvement include video interviews, where migrants discuss their circular practices, sustainable food preparation methods, and other activities. These videos also showcase the circular skills of seniors and people from rural areas.
The project focused on three target groups: adult educators, young adults, and disadvantaged social groups such as senior citizens, migrants, and people from rural areas. It aimed to foster social participation and empower these groups by integrating them as educators and sharing their unique circular skills.
