- L’importante e la salute – Health
- Achieving gender equality and empowering women
- Well-being
The topics will be conducted by a consortium of six partners from Finland, Poland, Italy and Cyprus, which have worked with several topics of social and cultural sustainability, and have regocnised the need of clarifying the meaning and supporting the concrete performing of sustainability in the everyday European life.

culturally sustainable practices in their overall activities and operations
