ABOUT THE PROJECT
The main goal of the project ‘Youth 4 Green Earth’ is to motivate young people to live their lives
in a more green and sustainable way. Overall, we can say that young people are aware of the
importance of protecting nature and addressing ecological issues but at the same time, there is
a big step to apply the knowledge in daily life: to use the most ecological way of transport, to
buy local products if possible, to use a glass bottle, to limit using of plastic, to check out the
origin of our clothes and in overall to reduce overconsumption that is much present in our lives.
OBJECTIVES
To increase knowledge of the participants on practical aspects of living a more green and
sustainable lifestyle (to compare practices in participating countries, to address various
aspects of daily life: transport, accommodation, cooking, free time activities);
● To inspire the participants to live more green and sustainable lifestyles and to transfer
their attitude to their communities through a series of online and ‘face to face’ activities;
● To create at least 10 short tutorials on practical aspects of living green, sustainable
lifestyle e.g. aspects of food, cooking, transport, accommodation, recycling;
● To create a practical online handbook with tips, articles, and resources on green,
sustainable lifestyles in English;
● To increase the digital competencies of the participants through work on tutorials,
online handbook and content for the project website and social media;
● To organize 2 local actions in each participating country with the aim to share lessons
learned, and practical tips and inspire others to live more green, sustainable lifestyles;
● To provide the participants of youth exchange an opportunity to work on the
development of competencies described in YouthPass;
● To increase the knowledge of the participants in the Erasmus+ Programme and to
encourage the development of new projects;
● To give an opportunity to young people with fewer opportunities to take part in
international youth mobility and to promote their active involvement.
