Another goal of the program is to train volunteers in environmental matters, focused on promoting good environmental practices, so that these volunteers in turn transmit knowledge to their communities, which shall have a positive impact on the conservation of ecosystems.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
