A team of Austrian and Bulgarian urban development, impact (focus GreenDeal) and IT experts is elaborating a training to strengthen the green skills of urban and rural development staff, including decision makers and investors. On 31 March 2023, 4pm CET the next pilot training on impact analysis will take place – free of charge and online.

In our changing world and marketplace, vocational trainings are needed that strengthen skills profiles in nnovative, inclusive, green thinking and competence. Ideally it integrates multi-stakeholder and multi-discipline participation, teaches visioning with impact in mind, to create lasting outputs based on shared societal values.

Holistic urban development pioneer Laura P. Spinadel (urbanmenus.com, BUSarchitektur, Austria), Sustainability and IT expert akaryon (akaryon.com, Austria), and the Institute for Urban Planning (iup.bg, Bulgaria) team up with representatives of the target groups to deliver a practical training programme referring to the core values of the New European Green Deal.

Two major components are planned:

• Green Deal training program – consisting of 3 trainings on (1) Green Deal & context (incl. taxonomy), (2) impact analysis and (3) participation
• Interactive Green Deal Readiness Check – Determine skill level, gather inspiration and develop further

The project, co-funded with European subsidies (ERASMUS+) started in May 2022 and will go on until January 2024. It builds upon the innovation URBAN MENUS, providing process know how and a web-based 3D software for participatory & impact-oriented urban planning.
