Objectives

This project aim to achieve different aspects. First of all we are focused in the sustainable grow and development of our societies. Nowadays, we are suffering from shortage of natural resources due to the fact that our level of consumism is very high and we are not respecting the reposition rates of the natural resources. That's why we want by this project to present and apport knowledge to the participants of the circular economy and the 3Rs theory of reduce, reuse and recycle. By the implemention of activities related to this topic we aim to raise awareness about the natural dilema we are suffering right now. We need nature, trees, plants and animal to preserve the ecosystems in where we live but at the same time we need natural resources to keep a well-off standard of living. Through this project we will demonstrate that we need to change to a less consumism way of living and that this is possible just changing some consuming habits and applying others such as the 3Rs we mentioned before. In addition to this, by creating conscience and awareness about this problem we are having, we will promote and develop their entrepreneurial skills. The main idea is to make business ideas come to their minds. In the actual context of the countries participating in the youth exchange, the problem of unemployment but more concretely, youth unemployment, is a big issue to solve in all of the partner countries. We believe that sustainable development business ideas will inspired them to create their own enterprises. This will have an impact in their home towns and the knowledge acquired in the youth exchange will be spread through new business ideas to the local population. To summarize the main objetives of the project are the following: - To Raise awareness about shortage of natural resources problem -To present circular economy and 3Rs theory as a tool to fight against pollution and shortage of natural resources - To raise awareness about the importance and value of natural resources in our planet - To change consumism habits to a more eco friendly ones -To awake the sense of social entrepreneurship sense, respecting the nature - To fight against youth unemployment in a sustainable way -To spread the multiculturalism to work in international groups - To spread European values among youngsters Through all this objectives, our youngsters will develop themselves in a personal but also professional way, raising their tolerance, empathy, entrepreneuril skills, and environmental conscience. Morever, from previous collaborations we count with the support of La Délégation Académique aux Relations Européennes et Internationales et à la Coopération (DAREIC).
