The ImpactBOX project (2025-2028) aims to address the EU's political commitment to a cross-cutting priority across all education and training sectors and levels, focusing on capacity-building with a multi-level approach - starting from EU to local level.


Its goal: to improve inclusive, digital, and sustainable strategies and practices in education and training organisations - considered as multipliers - to create transformative change by challenging current inequalities and environmental challenges. 


The consortium involves 5 full partners and 6 Affiliated Entities, ensuring impact from international to the local level through their extensive network of members and partners in several EU and non-EU countries.


The primary target group of the project are the adult educators and staff working in the education and training sector.


From EU to local level, the project focuses on four main areas :

  • Access and participation: supporting providers in breaking barriers and promoting active participation and civic engagement, focusing on vulnerable target groups.

  • Inclusion and diversity: supporting providers implementing inclusion and diversity strategies in each organisation’s culture, practices and outputs.

  • Addressing digital transition through digital skills for inclusion: engaging education providers in adapting to the digital transition by enhancing their digital skills and fostering inclusive practices and digital well-being. To raise awareness of bias and intersectional discrimination—particularly related to gender, ethnicity, and racial origin—exacerbated by AI. And to empower CSOs and educational providers to safeguard fundamental rights in the digital age.

  • Environmental sustainability for inclusion: engaging providers to consider environmentally sustainable methods to strengthen inclusion with a focus on gender equality, social justice, inclusivity, to make the Just Transition truly equitable.


ImpactBOX is structured around four key steps:

  • Gathering resources and materials from the four core areas of the project: access and participation, inclusion and diversity, digital skills for inclusion and environmental sustainability. All resources and materials will be included in a free-of-charge upskilling e-learning platform.

  • Capacity-building including a transnational in-person training on the project's 4 core themes, as well as adapted local trainings based on the needs of the local organisation involved.

  • Impact and sustainability, including an impact assessment tool, validated by stakeholders and peer reviewed by education and training providers, CSOs and NGOs, to support them in their own assessment and impact measurement.

  • Communication, policy dialogue and stakeholder engagement, focusing on policy and decision-makers, including the development of policy recommendations using a bottom-up approach.


The pedagogical approaches implemented will all make educational staff and managers of CSOs more aware and willing to practise inclusive approaches, also at the internal level.
