Our young people are facing a future which is not guaranteed to be able to support their livelihoods. They have started to act for sustainability themselves and to demand the same shift from the adults. The health and safety of their future depend on whether we are able to change our habits from destructive to sustainable. As social, environmental and economic challenges converge, the European Commission has put forward a Green New Deal roadmap that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous, resource-efficient and climate-neutral economy. According to the European Commission: ‘It is easy to consider green jobs as the preserve of eco-industries. After all, employment in this sector has grown by 20 % since 2000 and now provides 4.2 million jobs. But the growing importance of sustainability has reached all sectors. Many industries have realized that investing in resource efficiency, energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste and water management actually saves them money by being less reliant on primary materials and imports.’ The growth of the green economy means sustainability will be a key part of any job, whether you work in a call center, a hospital, retail or engineering. A greater understanding of this growing green economy is urgently needed, particularly in the education sector. As young people start to get involved in solving the environmental crisis, there is an emerging need for youth workers to be able to support them through this process. Youth workers should, therefore, gain competences in the field of environmental protection and sustainability, and be prepared to act as role models in what respects to their behavior towards the environment. In order to be prepared to fulfill the demanding duties of a green job, it’s not only technical and scientific knowledge that is needed, but also eco-literacy, eco-consciousness, emotional intelligence, resilience, non-violent communication and empathy, and many other traits and competencies which are not taught or trained in formal education institutions. Apart from the required need for change of the formal educational system, non-formal education needs to be more acknowledged and applied in this process. The main aim of our project is to build the capacities of youth workers to work with young people on green economy, green jobs, green competencies and environmental topics. Specific objectives of the project are: - Raise awareness and competencies of youth workers to teach and share knowledge on green economy, green jobs, and green competencies; - Build capacities of youth organizations to work on green economy, green jobs and green competencies; - Equip 25 youth workers with knowledge, skills and tools on the topics of green economy, green jobs, and green competencies; - Showcase and share good-case examples of green economy and integration of vulnerable groups in green jobs; - Foster networking and cooperation between youth organizations and youth workers to work on green economy, green jobs and green competencies; - Promote Erasmus+ program, EU Green New Deal, and EU values;
