Implementation period: 01.03.2021 – 28.02.2023

Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2020-1-UK01-KA227-ADU-094688

Project description:

Project ‘Libraries of Things – LoT’, members can borrow for free, or at a low cost, from a range of items. This gives people the opportunity to participate in a circular economy and learn more about climate change. Project goals are creating an online interactive platform to catalogue information and resources from LoTs in other countries and offer advice to others in Europe to set up an LoT and to disseminate the findings of the project.

Target group

Adults who are interested in the topics of environment, recycling and the sharing economy;
People with fewer opportunities, facing economic, social and cultural obstacles;
Adult educators.
