About the Project Consortium
Empowering VET through Green and Digital Marketing
The EcoAdvert consortium unites three partner organisations from North Macedonia, Italy and Bulgaria with one shared vision: to make marketing greener, smarter, and more sustainable.
Together, they promote the transition from traditional marketing to sustainable marketing, equipping VET trainers, students, and entrepreneurs with new green and digital skills. The partnership combines practical VET experience, sustainability know-how, and innovation in digital education to create long-term impact across Europe.
EcoAdvert is more than a project – it is a European collaboration built on trust, shared learning, and a commitment to responsible business practices and environmental awareness.

Where ideas grow into impact.
Our EcoAdvert project has been proudly approved by the National Agency for European Educational Programmes and Mobility – the key national body that drives innovation, inclusion, and European values across education, youth engagement, and lifelong learning in North Macedonia.
Their mission is clear: to empower organisations, inspire young people, strengthen communities, and ensure that every EU-funded project delivers real, measurable change.
With their support, EcoAdvert moves from vision to action—bringing together sustainability, creativity, and modern marketing to shape a greener future for the region.
When a great idea meets the right support, transformation becomes inevitable.
