Objectives

Being aware that European Commission has made water protection one of the priorities of its work and that role of citizens of Europe is crucial to achieve objectives made by the Commission and that there is a huge need for a more global approach to water policy and a need to increase the awareness of people in general we want to get to know more about situation of water protection and management in other European countries, focusing on protection of seas, lakes and coastal beaches because there is a increasing demand by citizens and environmental organizations for cleaner water and sustainable projects of its management and protection but there is still lack of local, regional and national actions to support European Commission priorities and objectives, thus we will develop campaigning as a tool for a social change. The main aim of the project is to positively influence the attitudes of participants towards acting together and team work for water, coastal and beaches protections and equip them with skills, knowledge and experience to run a successful and fruitful social campaign. In order to achieve main aim, the project has got several objectives as follow: 1. enhance inter-cultural awareness of participants and promote solidarity and active youth participation; 2. improve and strengthen the knowledge, skills and behaviours of participants to support, foster and promote environment protection and sustainable management; 3. provide a safe space to establish an effective intercultural learning and dialogue between its participants as well as to explore the connection between the lack of intercultural understanding and the emergence of stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination; 4. improve the inter-cultural and social skills of young people and youth leaders as well as their competences to manage and work with diversity in all its forms; 5. encourage youth to active participation in socio-ecology life on local, national and European level and empower them to be agents of change in the society; 6. create pro-active attitudes towards water, coastal and beaches protection; 7. promote Erasmus+ Programme as a tool to work on ecological issues and development of soft skills of young people, opportunity for reaching and enabling active participation of disadvantaged groups of people and possibility for youngsters to take the action.
