The Tools for Learning – Tools for Sustainable Development handbook brings together eight tools that teachers and youth workers can use to support their learning and develop young people’s knowledge and skills in an inclusive way. Each of the tools, including a global climate conference simulation, cooking with food scraps and an urban walk, is firstly set in a contextual context and supported by implementation guidance, including ways to test knowledge and a rough outline of the skills learnt.

The handbook was prepared by Green Istria from Pula, Legambiente Lombardia Onlus from Milan and IPoP a part of the Tools for Learning – Tools for Sustainable Development project, implemented with the support of the ERASMUS+ programme.

The publication is showcasing the first 15 Climate Pilot Actions from members of Mreža za prostor – Slovenian network of NGOs and initiatives in the field of sustainable urban planning. That is how we named small projects that offer practical solutions with concrete spatial impacts, have a high awareness-raising potential, can be scaled up or transferred to other environments, and support local community networking. These projects, although small in financial scope, allow for experimentation, explore new topics, test new solutions, and often go beyond the usual frameworks set by calls for proposals. The selection of projects is carried out in a process that could be described as networks’ participatory budget.

Short summaries of Climate Pilot Actions are available in the publication.

Jane’s Walk was started in 2007 to commemorate and celebrate the life and ideas of Jane Jacobs, and now has become an event hosted by cities around the world. Jane Jacobs’ call to ‘get out and walk’, to learn about your city and get involved, has inspired volunteer walk leaders to share and converse about their neighbourhoods and meaningful places. The Jane’s Walk event continues to grow globally and we are excited to see how well it has been received in Slovenia.
