Lately, climate change has been on the agenda of the EU and its member countries, but
also of all the states of the world, because their consequences did not take long to
appear, but are increasingly present in different corners of the world as well as in our
community. Measures taken to mitigate the effects of climate change or to adapt to it
can contribute to ensuring a quality environment for people’s health. However, people
litter places where they enjoy natural beauty, and climate change measures are more
formal than practical. According to a 2021 Eurobarometer survey, 91% of young
Europeans (15-24) agree that action to combat climate change can help them improve
their own health and well-being. Pact European Green is a response to the climate
change crisis, and the national strategies of EU member countries are becoming climate
change adaptation or mitigation tools. From discussions with young people in the
community we found out that 95% of them did not know about the European Green Deal
and the measures taken to combat it climate change, 92% considered it a threat to
humanity, and 90% of them answered that they did not they were asked to participate in
actions for the quality of the environment and combating climate change.
Aim of the project:
- To enrich the knowledge of the 56 young people, from 7 countries,
during the exchange, about combating climate change; - To develop, during the exchange, the skills and competencies needed
by the 56 young people from 7 countries to organize and carry out
volunteer activities to combat climate change; - To stimulate the youth interest of the 56 young people, from 7
countries, to become messengers of the practice and promotion of
volunteering to combat climate change in the community, during the
exchange and after the termination of its funding. In carrying out the
activities of the exchange, non-formal education strategies are used, and
for the skills acquired in the exchange learning process, the participants
will receive the Youthpass Certificate.
The youth exchange will be implemented with the
involvement of 63 total of participants from Romania,
Spain, Serbia, Italy, Turkiye, Poland and The Republic of
North Macedonia. During 8 working days, the working
methods will be based on non formal education, such as:
debates, simulation games, team building, workshop,
interract with local people, intercultural nights, cultural
activities and
reflections.
