GREENER YOUTH

The project focuses on environmental activism and methods of its use in the educational practice of youth workers. The project’s idea is to systematise some activities to promote the so-called ‘green skills’ and test them with each other so that trainees can bring them back into their own educational context. The project aims to equip youth workers with knowledge, skills and tools to integrate climate activism and raise awareness among young people in their local communities and across the EU. Activities will be carried out through informal education. 3 educators from Poland will take part in the project.

Activities to be carried out in the project:

The project will include an international training during which will take place:

• debates and discussion on global warming, the European green strategy, environmental activism in various countries
• group work on soft skills
• team-building classes
• exchange of good experiences between organisations
• inter-cultural evenings

What we do during the project:

• we incorporate interesting practices concerning environmental activism into youth work
• we share our experiences with foreign educators
• we learn about other organisations’ activities regarding ecology
• we learn environmental activism in practice
• we promote the lifelong learning model and support educators in their development 
• we acquire the so-called ‘green skills’ which we will use in our work with youth
