🌍 The Green Skills We Didn’t Know We Had
Sustainability isn’t just about wind turbines or solar panels, it’s also about the everyday skills we already use without realizing. We want to highlight how hidden green skills are shaping a more sustainable future:
⇒ Repair & Maintenance – Fixing clothes, tightening furniture, extending product life.

At DIAMOND Empower, partners are exploring how social innovations and community practices shape lifelong learning pathways for the green and digital transitions. By recognizing the skills we already have, we can design education and jobs that are more inclusive and sustainable.
