HEEFTA participated in CIRCULARMENTE 2026 in Murcia, where CTNC presented the project and promoted the importance of green and blue skills, environmental education and collaboration with stakeholders to support the Mediterranean’s sustainable transition.
On 2 June 2026, the HEEFTA – Holistic Environmental Education from Training to Action project participated in CIRCULARMENTE 2026, a regional event dedicated to sustainability, circular economy and business innovation, held at the Víctor Villegas Conference Centre in Murcia (Spain). The event brought together companies, research organisations, public authorities and innovation stakeholders to exchange experiences and promote sustainable business practices.
As Lead Partner of the HEEFTA project, the National Technological Centre for the Food and Canning Industry (CTNC) represented the project with an exhibition stand, where visitors had the opportunity to learn about HEEFTA’s mission of strengthening environmental education across the Mediterranean through the development of green and blue skills for higher education students and young professionals.
Throughout the event, CTNC presented the project’s interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, highlighting how HEEFTA combines environmental awareness, technical knowledge and practical learning to prepare future professionals capable of addressing complex environmental challenges. The project attracted interest from companies, educational institutions and organisations seeking to integrate sustainability into training programmes and workforce development.
CIRCULARMENTE provided an excellent opportunity to engage with regional stakeholders, establish new contacts and identify potential collaborations that can contribute to expanding the HEEFTA Network and increasing the impact of its educational activities. Networking sessions and exchanges with representatives from industry and innovation support organisations reinforced the importance of cooperation between academia, research centres and businesses in accelerating the green transition.
Participation in events such as CIRCULARMENTE reflects HEEFTA’s commitment to connecting education with real-world sustainability challenges, ensuring that environmental knowledge is translated into practical action. By engaging directly with the innovation ecosystem, the project continues to strengthen its network across the Mediterranean while promoting the development of the skills needed for a more sustainable and resilient future.
