ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project stems from a crucial need to combat overproduction among young Europeans. Our mission is to empower the new generation with knowledge about sustainability and green practices that can be seamlessly integrated into their daily lives. We aspire to cultivate a society that values sustainability and resource efficiency.

Our goal is to equip youth workers with the knowledge and skills to promote sustainability within their communities. Through knowledge exchange and practical training, participants will become champions of change, inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices. Together, we strive to create a greener, more sustainable future.

The project focuses on enhancing the knowledge base of youth regarding European environmental policies and fostering a deep understanding of the repercussions of daily human actions on the environment. Through the exchange of ideas for sustainability-related activities at the local level, the project empowers youth workers to implement impactful initiatives in their communities.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Improving knowledge of the youth workers about European environmental policies and understanding the impact of human daily action on the environment
Developing sustainable practices and exchanging their best practices with their international colleagues
Exchanging ideas for developing sustainability-related activities within their local youth work
Equipping the youth workers with efficient methods and tools for the promotion of the project’s main mission
Strengthening cooperation among the European youth workers and their connections for future international projects

PROJECT METHODOLOGY

The project will consist of three main parts:

Theory Sessions: Understanding Environmental Challenges
In our theory sessions, we’ll explore important environmental issues and sustainability topics through presentations and research. Participants will discuss these topics, backed by statistics and facts, to grasp their significance. We’ll delve into current issues like overproduction and lack of environmental awareness, examining their effects on society. Additionally, we’ll highlight how sustainable practices can improve these situations.
Practical Workshops: Hands-On Learning
Our workshops will offer practical and creative activities focusing on sustainability and green skills. From zero waste initiatives to DIY projects, participants will explore innovative ideas that can be applied in youth work activities. They’ll learn to repurpose old materials into useful objects and create everyday products at home using simple supplies. Through brainstorming and interactive sessions, they’ll discover sustainable approaches to daily life.
Promotion Tools: Spreading the Message
Youth workers will have the opportunity to create online content to promote their activities and project mission. Sessions will cover movie-making, editing, and creating engaging content like reels and interactive posts. The outcomes of these sessions will be used to disseminate the project’s message effectively.
