This project addresses the need to invest in the development of social capital and youth’s ability to participate actively in society, by supporting youth workers improving the quality of their work in the field of sustainability, responsible consumption and active citizenship. True to the lifelong learning concept, we address trainers’ needs to be more effective and knowledgeable when helping youngsters to understand humans personal and collective impact on the environment and how it affects society. This project tackles socio-economic changes, the key challenges that Europe will be facing until the end of the decade, in accordance to the main issues addressed by the Erasmus+ Programme.

Building capacity on the topics of sustainable development and environmental matters will broaden the participants’ competences and enhance their professional skills.
