A circular society goes far beyond recycling waste or improving resource efficiency. It takes into account the broader societal changes required for circular modes of production and consumption, including sustainable lifestyles, social participation, fairness, supportive policy frameworks, and shared responsibility. It explores how circular economy principles can be integrated into everyday life, organisations, and communities in order to create more resilient and sustainable societies.

The ACE learning modules introduce the fundamental concepts and strategies of a circular society. They help learners understand what circular approaches involve and under what conditions they can contribute to a more resource-efficient, resilient, and socially just society. The modules cover key topics such as reuse, repair, sharing models, circular business models, and sustainable consumption, while also highlighting the differences between linear and circular systems.

The modules are aimed at all stakeholders who contribute to the transition towards a circular society through their work in education, knowledge transfer, or practical implementation. They are suitable for teachers, trainers, facilitators, consultants, and other professionals interested in circular society approaches. The materials can be used for self-study, professional development, workshops, and practical learning activities.

The course includes a guide and templates for developing educational materials, ready-to-use resources for trainers and learners, as well as multilingual materials. It also encourages the exchange of experiences and feedback in order to continuously improve both the learning materials and their practical application.
