Details:
Education is the only way to change reality into a more sustainable, fair and human society, and the role of youth workers is crucial in the process of empowering young people to take their own future into their own hands. By offering this training, we want to improve youth workers competences and skills regarding green entrepreneurship. It is also a good opportunity to give new tools and share good practices and experiences of local initiatives in Europe that, starting from the local resources and with little money, can become a valuable and sustainable job. We believe in the power of small actions in local interconnected places, and the need of promoting entrepreneurial spirit among young people, as the main stakeholder for the future legacy. Our proposal is to start thinking about what if we change paradigm and, instead of looking for more profit, try to invest more in human and nature relations which can be translated into a richer and happier society.
Objectives
• To share different experiences and good practices related to the topic of the course, creating a common understanding around the concept of sustainability.
• To provide youth workers with new tools, methods and ideas to be used in their own life and work, to promote an active participation of young people.
• To experience working in nature and with nature, living in community and sharing the resources.
• To strengthen international connections and networks for future projects.
