Abstract

The FUTURE project was initiated by the Porto Metropolitan Area Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCE Porto) and addresses two documented priorities at the regional context: the need to improve the natural capital, particularly native woodlands (which underpin a broader environmental quality), and the need to expand on the social capital, specifically through the creation of social networks that facilitate the action, cooperation and public participation required to move the region towards sustainability. The project, collaboratively designed and managed, comprises the creation of 100 hectares of native woodlands in the region (100,000 trees) until 2015 and, simultaneously, the setting up of a group of citizens that are aware, skilled and motivated enough to promote and care for these native woodlands in close cooperation with regional organizations. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
