Summary:

Target group:
Young people, Youth workers
For participants from:
Youth in action programme countries, south-east europe, eastern europe and caucasus
Group size: 25 participants.
Details:
GREEN GATE methodology is based on the principles of NFE and active participation, and includes:
• learning by doing - arts handcrafts, transformation of old disused materials and bringing them back to life through renovation and recycling, visit to a local energy efficient windmill and bio-farm;
• creative role play and simulations;
• open discussions and debates encouraged by brainstorming session;
• audio visual presentations and lectures;
• activities in a Creative Lab environment stimulating the active involvement and input of each participant.
The training program themes will consist of:
• Facts and figures about the planet & introduction to the basic principles of sustainable development;
• What is carbon print and how to minimize our own harmful impact on the environment?;
• Change of lifestyle - possible, feasible, necessary, fun – everyday habits, water, electricity, transport, waste;
• 3 RE - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle;
• Infinite energy - renewable energy resources;
• Biofuels and electric cars - science fiction or reality?
The program will include art handcraft sessions, indoor working sessions, outdoor activities, a field trip to a local bio farm. Why: Environmental protection and sustainable development are among the biggest challenges of the 21st century. During the World summit meeting on sustainable development in Johannesburg a special emphasis was put on the importance of training in sustainable development and the UN adopted a resolution declaring the period 2005-2014 for a Decade on sustainable development education. The success of that global agenda requires active participation and support from each and every one of us. For young people that means promoting a different lifestyle and everyday habits that take into consideration the importance of decreasing our own carbon print on the environment.
