For adult-education organisations · Erasmus+ · KA1 host & KA2 partner

Bring your adult learners to Athens — learning they’ll never forget.

From seniors’ groups to lifelong-learning classes, we host the whole experience: hands-on workshops in healthy living and sustainability, wrapped in the Athens your learners came to see. Or invite us as a committed partner in your KA2 cooperation project.

The reason your learners will say yes

Athens — the city your learners will love.

Older adults travel for meaning and for wonder — and Athens gives both. Your group learns by day and walks through 2,500 years of history by evening.

There is no better classroom-with-a-view in Europe. Every hosted stay has real cultural visits built in — chosen with you and paced for your group, so nobody is rushed and nobody is left out.

Acropolis & Parthenon

The icon of Western civilisation, walked at an easy pace.

Acropolis Museum

Cool, step-free galleries beneath the great marbles.

Ancient Agora

Where Socrates taught — olive trees, shade and stoas.

Plaka & Monastiraki

Old neighbourhood lanes, cafés and the flea market.

Archaeological Museum

The world’s finest collection of Greek antiquities.

Cape Sounion

Sunset at the cliff-top Temple of Poseidon.

Saronic boat trip

A gentle day at sea to Aegina, Poros and Hydra.

Markets & Greek food

Tastes, smells and a long, shared table.

Athens Riviera

Sea air and an unhurried coastal afternoon.

We build the cultural visits into every hosted stay — you tell us the pace, we make it effortless.

What a workshop looks like

Hands-on workshops, built for adults.

Our method turns science into something anyone can do, at any age — no lectures, no jargon, just real making and sharing.

In our workshops, adults grow microgreens from seed to plate, cook and taste what they grow, and pick up green everyday habits and a little digital confidence along the way.

Microgreens is our proven, hands-on methodology — gentle, social and easy to join at any pace. We adapt it for adult and senior groups: something you can see, touch and eat, with wellbeing, nutrition and community designed in.

We’ve used this approach with older adults. In a 2026 community project in Spain, our team led a hands-on session with a local seniors’ group — the same warm, practical approach we’d bring to your learners in Athens.

The toolkit behind the workshops

Microgreens is our proven flagship for healthy living and sustainability — and we keep growing the toolkit.

Cultivation

Microgreens

Growing, healthy eating and green habits.

Biomaterials

Mycelium

Sustainable materials and circular thinking.

Technology

Drones

Curiosity, observation and digital confidence.

Energy

Solar

Renewable energy and green everyday living.

Bring your group to Athens — we host your KA1 Adult mobility

You bring the people. We handle everything on the ground.

Whether you’re sending adult educators to grow their practice, or a group of adult learners for a structured learning experience, we host the whole thing — learning, logistics and culture, as one offer.

Two ways to come

For adult educators

Take home our methodology

Spend time with our trainers and take home our microgreens-based non-formal methodology: a complete, transferable way to engage adult learners in healthy living, sustainability and community.

For adult-learner groups

A structured learning experience

A structured programme — growing food, healthy eating, green habits, basic digital confidence and community — with clear learning outcomes for your adult learners. The cultural visits complement the learning; they don’t replace it.

Your complete package

Everything your group needs on the ground — organised by us, as one single offer.

Airport transfers
Local transport
Accommodation (hotel, hostel or apartments)
Meals
Full hands-on activity programme
Community-project visits
Cultural visits across Athens
Learning-outcome records for your Europass Mobility
One package, any group size. You bring the people — we handle everything on the ground.

How the funding works: EVEC is your host in Athens. Your organisation holds the Erasmus+ KA1 Adult Education grant (an accredited KA121-ADU, or a short-term KA122-ADU project) and chooses us as the receiving partner. We don’t need our own accreditation to host you, and we’ll help you shape a strong mobility.

Planning further ahead? As the next Erasmus+ cycle approaches, we’ll share what we’ve learned applying for and delivering projects — to help your organisation build towards running its own mobility.

Partner with us in your KA2

The partner you wish every project had.

Too many partnerships stall because a partner doesn’t pull their weight. We’re the opposite.

EVEC delivers its work packages on time, brings ready-made non-formal methodology, and makes your adult-education project stronger — whatever your theme.

What we bring to your partnership

Five reasons you want us on your project team.

Reliable delivery

We do our tasks, on time, to standard — we’ve already co-delivered a KA210 small-scale partnership (the youth-strand “Himmeli Creation”, with Poland), and the same reliability carries across fields.

A proven non-formal methodology

Turning complex science into hands-on learning adults engage with.

Ready-made content

Microgreens for healthy living and sustainability, expanding into mycelium, drones, solar.

Erasmus+ experience

We know the priorities, the process, and the paperwork.

Strong dissemination

Open resources at microgreens.org.gr, plus our social channels.

Your theme, or ours

We adapt our methodology to any adult-education theme. A few that fit well:

Healthy living Sustainability Green everyday skills Social inclusion Community building Basic digital confidence Active citizenship Intercultural learning Microgreens Mycelium Drones Solar
Any adult-education theme is welcome — your project leads, and we adapt our methodology to it.

Proof — a small-scale partnership we delivered

Cooperation-partnership delivery

“Reducing Pollution & Empowering Youth through Himmeli Creation” — a youth-strand KA210 small-scale partnership with Poland, where EVEC delivered its own work packages in full, as any committed partner does. The same reliability is exactly what we’d bring to an adult-education KA2.

Help writing your project

Prefer to lead it yourself? We’ll help you make it strong.

We’ll help you structure priorities, work packages and outputs, and review your drafts — while you stay the author and owner.

Ethical by design: we coach, structure and review — we don’t ghost-write complete projects as a turnkey product. The project stays genuinely yours.

Trust & credibility

Real, EU-recognised, a safe partner.

We’re an officially recognised organisation — holding an Erasmus+ KA1 Youth accreditation and the ESC Quality Label, with 20+ Erasmus+ & ESC projects and partners across Europe. (Our accreditation is in the Youth field, not adult education — for adult education we act as your eligible KA2 partner and host.) With us, your project and your group are in safe hands.
