Objectives

"Grow but Green" is a Youth Exchange project that has been developed thanks to the cooperation among project's partners that identified the "sustainable entrepreneurship" issue as crucial in the development of voluntary associations. The internal comparison with the members of each association, which have been afterwards put into dialogue by the coordinator, showed how the participants would have liked to work on the topic and the project was built exactly on these methods. The project tries to achieve several objectives. On the one hand there are general objectives of a Youth Exchange project: development of adaptability to multicultural environments for a more inclusive and democratic society, growth in English language proficiency, habit of working in teams, more active participation in future in social life, greater awareness of the opportunities offered by European programmes. On the other hand there are personal skills that can be achieved, such as the development of a stronger initiative to face youth unemployment, a higher self-esteem and a more developed sense of entrepreneurship. The latter are connected to other specific Learning Outcomes that can be achieved considering the topic addressed: • ability to glimpse the possibility of developing sustainable enterprises among the labour market opportunities; • growth in the economic sustainability awareness of opportunities that are sustainable also from an ecological point of view; • greater understanding of the damage caused by non-sustainable development of entrepreneurship; • ability to evaluate how to implement sustainable measures in one's own enterprise. Besides the previously listed goals there are also objectives related to Legambiente Lecco and the other project partners, namely the ability to implement broader measures of sustainability in their own activities, in order to cover limits and shortcomings that may emerge through the work of the participants involved.
