About the project:
Human activity has a negative impact on our natural environment. The ecological crisis is a consequence of the past behaviour of the human race. United Nations
stays that the involvement of today’s youth in environment and development decision-making and in the implementation of programmes is critical to the longterm
success of Agenda 21. Young people, being the decision makers of tomorrow, need to understand how changes in the environment will affect them and how they
can become involved in the issues and decisions that will ultimately affect them. The project “Go Green” is designed to acquire knowledge and skills necessary to address complex environmental issues; to become active citizens and to take active participation on local, national or international level.
The objectives of youth exchange “Go Green” are:
– to understand how our decisions and actions affect the environment; to raise awareness about the environmental issues and possible future consequences caused
by human-beings;
– to empower youth in active citizenship taking responsibility in their countries and participating in the decision-making process regarding the protection of the
environment; to prepare them to take a more active, positive and responsible role in society;
– to develop a green way of thinking and habits thanks to meetings with experts, role games, workshops, discussions, debates about topics such as ecology, recycling,
environment, sustainable development and active citizenship;
– to organize and to participate in the cleaning event in Teplodar (Odessa region); to install segregated waste bins in Teplodar and to carry out an awareness campaign
for the local dwellers;
– to practice youth participation by organizing an event dedicated to the Earth Day for the local community, which will be implemented during the Youth Exchange
