Details: Education and environment, two problems that start getting closer but that still misread too much, then they could work together in a complementary way, for the improvement of the quality of life of everybody. To make a link between human rights, environment and non-formal education is a crucial issue in the contemporary days. Humans need environment, for using its resources; however the environment does not need humans. Humans’ needs are based on environment and we are over using all the available resources. There is a need of making a change in our daily actions, and since youth is the future generation of decision makers and experts, we need to empower them in order to assure the natural resources that will let the activities of the system; this is what we call sustainable development. Sustainable development involves the integration of environment into other policies and therefore recognizes the prominent role of the environment in the new public policies. But this principle of integration is combined with the right to development must concern not only the needs of present generations but also future generations. This consideration of the sustainability of development time reference to the need for careful and fair shared natural resources. The Declaration of Rio in 1992 says in the principle 1: “Human beings are at the centre of concern for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature ». In 2003 the High Commission on Human Rights adopted a resolution on 25th April 2003 devoted to human rights and environment as elements of sustainable development. Non-formal education has the responsibility to implement, share, and to encourage projects that will promote the role of environment in our society. Youth workers are in charge of empowering young people to develop initiatives that will provide a sustainable development in the economical activities, in services, in social activities, etc. This training course is addressed to youth workers, NGO leaders, volunteers working with young people, environment experts, etc. that wish to learn about new initiatives, and a new dimension of the youth work involving the importance of sustainable development in the frame of human rights in Europe and the world. This seminar will combine the participation of countries facing different problems related to environment. The participants will have the opportunity to share their good practices and new initiatives, in order to inspire members from other organisations. A session dedicated to the evolution of environmental policies in the last decades presented by an environmental expert being present in international law and the origin of the concept “sustainable development” will let participants to discover the reasons why our world is not adopting these conventions. An environmental exchange session will let us learn from other countries how we can use in our daily life sustainable development initiatives. For example: up-cycling, recycling, the use of renewable energies, examples of economy activities, natural products non aggressive with the environment, etc.
