Our Story
Greenify is an Erasmus+ partnership advancing Europe’s green transition by expanding who gets to build it. We design hands-on learning for girls (15–19) and career-ready modules for young women (19–30) so they can step confidently into high-impact roles across the net-zero economy. Our work aligns with the European Green Deal’s growth strategy and the EU’s Skills Agenda, while centering gender equality as a non-negotiable.
Our mission is to make green careers visible, accessible, and achievable, especially for learners from rural and first-generation backgrounds, by pairing engaging STEM learning with practical sustainability management skills. We translate EU priorities into classroom-ready tools and clear pathways to traineeships and jobs.

Our Objectives
Europe’s climate plan is also a skills plan: the shift to climate neutrality is transforming every sector and creating demand for green expertise. At the same time, women remain under-represented in core STEM roles even as they form a growing share of the wider science-and-technology workforce. Closing that gap is essential, for fairness and for competitiveness.
We co-create with schools, VET providers, universities, SMEs, and industry clusters. Each pilot cycle follows the same loop: listen → co-design → test in real settings → measure learning and employability outcomes → iterate → publish openly. This approach turns policy into practice, quickly.
STEM Toolkit for schools
Plug-and-play activities that connect physics, chemistry, coding, and data to real green systems, energy, buildings, mobility, circular materials.
Sustainability Management Module
A practical mini-curriculum covering net-zero strategy, life-cycle thinking, and circular business models, with self-learning guides and assessment.
Educator support
Ready-to-use lesson plans, facilitation guides, and quality rubrics so teachers and VET trainers can deliver with confidence.
National Reports
Explore our national and EU synthesis reports: concise, data-driven snapshots that turn Europe’s green transition into clear actions for schools, VET providers, and employers, spotlighting how girls and young women can lead the change.
European Synthesis Report
Across Europe, the pattern repeats: enthusiasm without pathways, potential without scaffolding. The synthesis translates five national mappings into a continental playbook, standardized surveys, a shared STEM inspiration toolkit, and a modular SMM for young women, so partners can act locally while learning globally. By coordinating pilots, publishing multilingual materials, and consolidating evidence into one public deliverable, the report turns fragmented initiatives into a flywheel: data → design → pilot → scale. This is Europe treating the green transition not as a slogan but as a talent-development system.
Bulgarian National Report
Bulgaria’s analysis is clear-eyed about regional disparities and relentless about solutions: ignite interest early through a hands-on STEM toolkit, then convert that momentum into employability with the SMM, delivered in local language, aligned to VET curricula, and validated through pilots with teachers, trainers, and companies. By anchoring change in measurable activities (surveys across students, young women, educators, and employers; structured pilots; open materials on the Erasmus+ platform), the report moves beyond awareness to execution, turning rural talent into a pipeline for green jobs and local industry.
Belgian National Report
Belgium’s report underscores a simple truth: when the path into STEM is visible, girls walk it, and when leadership pathways are scaffolded, young women climb. The study maps where access breaks down (especially for first-generation students and rural communities), and pairs those gaps with a practical arc of action: pilot “Green Skills Workshops” to spark interest, deploy a Sustainability Management Module (SMM) to build managerial capacity, and mobilize Belgium’s Brussels-anchored network to amplify adoption. The result is a pragmatic blueprint to turn curiosity into credentials and credentials into green-economy careers across Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels: scalable, measurable, and designed for real classrooms and real firms.
Spanish National Report
Spain’s report turns the promise of the green economy into a local skills engine: build early STEM engagement through project-based workshops; follow with an SMM that demystifies sustainability metrics, entrepreneurship, and leadership; and co-design with VET trainers and businesses to guarantee relevance. By committing to robust outreach (media, social, and stakeholder events) and transparent KPIs, Spain’s plan makes equitable access the design constraint, so girls and young women from rural or first-generation backgrounds see themselves in the future of Spain’s green industries, and have the tools to get there.
Italian National Report
Italy’s report bridges classrooms and the factory floor: it leverages Confindustria’s training ecosystem to bring STEM inspiration into secondary schools and green-management know-how into VET and higher education. The approach pairs experiential “Green Skills Workshops” with a career-ready SMM, tapping national programs and industry partners to make learning relevant to real production and services. With clear ownership (SFC and SSSA), measurable outputs, and translations for wide uptake, Italy positions young women not just to enter the labor market, but to lead its green transformation.
