Active youth citizens play a vital role in shaping the future of our society by bringing innovative ideas and strong motivation for creating positive change. They often lead social movements and advocacy campaigns, driving meaningful progress in areas such as environmental sustainability, human rights, and educational reforms.
Participation in democratic life, common values, and civic engagement are key areas where active young citizens can make significant impacts. By getting involved in TC SustainAble in Action, youth workers will explore the EU Youth Strategy (2019–2027) #10 Sustainable Green Europe Youth Goal, emphasising the need to take action and build a more sustainable and inclusive society for all. By exploring environmentally friendly approaches, such as reducing waste, minimising carbon footprint, and opting for sustainable food and mobility choices, the training course’s ultimate objective is to provide youth workers with the skills they need to implement NFIL programs that encourage socially and ecologically responsible behaviour. By stimulating teamwork, networking, and community involvement throughout this process, we want to maximise the impact of sustainable ventures, and to motivate youth workers to take the lead in the shift to a more equitable and sustainable future.
During the training course participants will gain knowledge and skills that will enable them to make a positive impact on their communities and become active members of the European youth, empowering individuals to become true actors of change.
The specific objectives of the training course are:
- To get a better understanding of the importance of developing sustainable practices in environmental and social terms
- To engage and empower youth workers to be active and responsible citizens.
- To raise skills and competencies to actively contribute to the achievement of the EU Youth Strategy (2019-2027) connected to sustainability.
- To raise critical and green skills to contribute to the sustainable development of societies across Europe
