Descrição: Environmental awareness is an incredibly important part of our lives. In order to protect the sustainability of the planet, everyone needs to commit to becoming more environmentally aware. People believe that environmental issues are not their problem, that they cannot do as much as it would need to make the change in the environmental destruction. Our goal is to make them understand that we can make the change with small but very important steps, to motivate young people toward environmental sustainability.
This exchange is a great opportunity to bring together youngsters from 7 European countries and to raise our issue on European level in order to make bigger and wider impact of this very important topic.
We give highly importance to the three keywords that represent our general objectives:
With their participation we would like to ENGAGE young people toward this very important topic in order to have a meaningful continuation of this project by returning to their home towns.
With their participation we would like to CONNECT young people to work together on one of the most important topics that effects our everyday life. Through this project we would like to encourage them for active participation, for taking our ideas into action and to strengthen the idea of “thinking globally, acting locally”
With their participation we would like to EMPOWER them to become active citizens of Europe and with experience, knowledge, ideas, good practices, self-esteem…etc in order to going back with confidence and willingness to spread the environment awareness in their community.
As for the task- related preparation:
- We would like to involve you and ask you to prepare some workshops, team building games, energizers.
