Objectives

Despite desertification is a problem touching directly only few countries, we understand it is global problem and we all need to act as one to tackle these issues and to reverse these climate changes. Unbalanced land use over different climatic zones creates more areas with depleted soil useless for agriculture which in consequence creates more negative social, economic and climate changes. That’s why preventive action and acting in symbiosis all over the world is necessary to keep our land and habitats healthy. Having partners from different geographical parts of Europe and Africa will bring together ideas and experience which will help us to understand the problem from global point of view and to contribute to fulfilling our objectives. The aim of the YE is to raise awareness and motivate young people to act on problems of desertification and other climate changes by introducing sustainable practices. Participants have already expressed the need to gain the knowledge and practices for recycling, reusing and reducing the waste which is also the base of circular economy. By implementing the techniques of circular economy we can create more job opportunities, turn the desert back into fertile areas for agriculture and stop displacing of the people of Sahara because of desertification. So the objectives are following: To raise awareness about the problem of desertification. To encourage young people to act locally to combat desertification and climate change and to empower them to act as agents of change for environmental and sustainable development To learn about traditional ways and materials our ancestors were using before introduction of plastics and chemical fertilizers. To introduce the techniques to effectively recycle and reuse our resources in daily life to meet with local activist from the field of desertification and discuss with them the best practices to tackle these problems to create online awareness campaigns and exchange ideas to raise awareness of the people about environmental issues to raise awareness of young people about new ways of creating entrepreneurship ideas which are directly or indirectly related to the development of the circular economy
