Objectives

The world needs renewable energy as fossil fuels are non-renewable and require finite resources, which are dwindling because of high cost and environmentally damaging retrieval techniques. This youth exchange has been created by a group of youth who are mindful about the environment and are greatly concerned about climate change. We like to gather for this youth exchange to set base for leading the future without fossil fuels, future where we all live in a sustainable world. Globalized energy markets control the market and sales promotion makes sure we consume what is available or what we are told is good. With this youth exchange we gather like-minded youth to explore the topic of energy consumption and renewables. With this youth exchange we want not only to share cultures of different countries, but also to open dialogue about “What does renewable energy mean? How it's generated? How we can implement those ideas in everyday life? What is healthy for us? What is the journey the "power" makes from the sun to our phone? We are going to debate and provoke critical thought so that the participants form their own opinion around the topic. We are going to talk about energy efficiency, energy production and energy production through DIY workshops. We are also going to delve on topics of Climate change and how it is affected by the energy we consume. This youth exchange will be all about learning by doing. The participants will completely immerse into the Renewable energy world through creating their own appliances/devices/strategies to collect and use renewable energy. The youth exchange is going to achieve the following specific objectives: - Raise awareness about renewable energy and foster critical thinking around the topic of the exchange; - Share cultures, exchange international perspectives about the topic, develop an intercultural competence, understanding of different cultures and appreciation of diversity; - Improve social and civic competence of participating youth; - Foster communication of youth and stakeholders; - Develop the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship and encourage young people to become more active in their communities; - Strengthen cooperation and inspire future projects between the partner organisation and enhance international dimension of their work;
