Green Solutions

Objectives:

1- Increase the knowledge and awareness of youth organisations in Europe on sustainability: During the project, youth workers will receive comprehensive information on sustainability concepts, environmental and climate change. This will raise their awareness of these issues and strengthen their ability to raise awareness.

2- Enabling the implementation of sustainable practices in daily work: Project participants will raise environmental awareness by implementing the sustainable working practices they have learned in their own organisations and local communities. This will support youth workers in developing solutions to problems such as climate change and environmental pollution.

3- Promoting the exchange of best practices and experiences: The activities organised within the project will enable youth workers from different fields to exchange their best practices and experiences. This will develop different approaches to sustainable projects and promote the exchange of knowledge and experience.

4- Developing and disseminating a ‘sustainability guide’: An important outcome of the project is the creation of a guide for youth workers and civil society organisations to implement sustainability initiatives more effectively.

5- Promotion of the Erasmus+ programme and non-formal education: To ensure that youth workers are informed about the Erasmus+ programme and to highlight the importance of non-formal education, special attention will be paid to these topics throughout the project.
