Environmental protection, climate change, anti-racism and equal opportunities are just a few of the issues that have driven many young and older people onto the streets in recent years. Especially the topic of environmental and climate protection catches attention, as the Fridays for future protests have shown. In the meantime, politics has also recognized the signs time. The Millennium Goals were followed by Agenda 2030 with the Sustainable Development Goals and most recently the European Green Deal, with which the EU wants to take the lead in climate protection and reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases to zero by 2050. At the same time, the Green Deal neglects other relevant aspects of sustainable development in favor of climate protection. The participants wanted to discuss the influence and possibilities of sustainable development on their everyday life. What is the reality of life for young people from Germany, Finland, Italy and Romania? In which world do they want to live? And what are they themselves willing to do or give up for it? While young people are generally very positive and open to sustainable development, they are also the ones who use fast fashion, need the latest smartphones or want to travel to increasingly exotic countries. What responsibility do they themselves bear for sustainable development? What responsibility do politicians and the EU have for implementing the SDGs? This project wanted to help to promote democratic debate and intercultural dialogue by experiencing, getting to know and questioning other views and values. The project aimed to actively strengthen the European consciousness of the participants by highlighting a socially relevant topic from the perspective of a united Europe as well as from the perspective of individual member states. At the same time, it aimed to promote intercultural, social and action-oriented competences of the participants through its encounter-characteristics. Young people were guided in their cooperation and networking with each other and familiarized with sustainable development in Europe through practical approaches. At the same time, the project aimed to promote the dissemination of peer learning among partner organizations and participants through its non-formal educational approaches. This project brought together schools and non-formal education partners to strengthen their existing partnership. The people involved from the partner organizations got the chance to acquire knowledge about non-formal learning and teaching methods from and with each other. Their cooperation in this field permitted them to develop and share new paths in non-formal education. Schools can only provide a full and comprehensive information and sensitization of young adults on the subject matter and value based conflicts up to a certain point and often address only individual issues. Topics need to be covered superficially, and interconnections, background information and courses of action are too rarely touched upon. This is where non-formal education was able to come in and complement school education by means of sensitization.
