ProjectZERO Roadmap
• As an area we have the potential because we have
a great concentration of technology and knowledgeintensive enterprises to carry out the best solutions.
But for the individuals, shop owners or farmers it is
about the solutions that pay back within a short
period of time. We should therefore raise awareness
of sustainability in all age groups; create knowledge
and skills to support a ZEROcarbon development in
Sonderborg area across geography, knowledge and
age.

Participation
• Participation, is a process through which all members of
a community or organization are involved in and have
influence on decisions related to development activities
that will affect them. That implies that development
projects will address those community or group needs on
which members have chosen to focus, and that all
phases of the development process will be characterized
by active involvement of community or organization
members.

Project ZERO’s masterplan
• Children have a different interpretation and
a unique ability to come up with new
ideas. They may come with climate
solutions. I believe that the continuous
involvement of children and young people
will give a great local benefit in the long
term. It is about making teaching exiting
and relevant and avoiding scare stories

Sustainable Learning City
A growing number of cities recognizes that
learning, in its broadest sense, can be a driver
for social, cultural, economic and environmental
wellbeing. These cities are developing innovative
strategies that allow citizens of all ages to learn
new skills and competencies, thereby
transforming their cities into learning cities.
