Sustainable Eco-footprint has been a comprehensive training that promoted environmental responsibility and social inclusion using a holistic approach to sustainability. The project had the objective of providing youth workers with the theoretical and practical skills in environmental education to develop awareness, career prospects, individual and social empowerment, and to implement replicable teaching tools in social and environmental education. We carried out this project to support our vision that a sustainable system is achievable when a holistic perspective on our social and personal needs meets with practices aiming at reducing energy use, waste, compensating life-styles carbon footprint emissions, supporting sustainable living. We believe few necessary changes can shift a new world vision that leads to simple abundance, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability, where non-formal and informal education are powerful tools that plant and nourish seeds of motivation and strength within the youth workers, to proactively define and replicate this new paradigm in every profession. The objectives of Sustainable Eco-Footprint are based on ecocentrism, instead of anthropocentrism, a vision to which youth workers are introduced through permaculture's non-formal education. This approach aims to provide theoretical and practical tools to introduce ecological regenerative actions in everyday life, in the small habits that create a deep change in the long term. Inspired by Europe 2020 Strategy (hereafter: EU2020S), the UN Youth Strategy 2030 , the European Youth Strategy Goals (EYSG) and the Italian Youth Guarantee (ITAYG), we recognize the central role of youth, recognized as the group with the least political and economic power in society but simultaneously with the biggest potential in creating change, through cooperation and leadership. Thus, our objectives for a sustainable, resilient, inclusive and effective development strongly relies on youth participation and empowerment. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the ongoing health, economic, social, and environmental crisis throughout Europe, additionally feeding the fear and mistrust towards the "others" (immigrants, refugees, generally foreigners, vulnerable and marginalized social categories) leading to social exclusion and poverty. Particularly affected by this sense of scarcity is the youth that tackles unemployment, NEET, poverty and marginalized vulnerable subjects. On the other hand, we provided the youth with a glimpse of a reality based on simplicity and happiness actively supported and created by each individual benefiting the whole; all this show a different path towards inclusivity, peace, and sustainability. Emphasizing the importance of a bottom-up strategy to promote European Union values and achieve EU2020S and ITAYG goals, our experience in organizing Youth trainings, we realized how successful the combination of non-formal education, interculturality and permaculture is in providing a comprehensive picture of sustainability, while acquiring social, technical and professional skills. We detected three fundamental needs coming from youth workers we address with our training: 1)knowledge: improve learning performance, career prospects and professional profiles through the acquisition of lost ancient practices combined with contemporary advanced scientific ecological knowledge; 2) training: enhance employability, increase the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, motivation through learning-by-doing, communicating in foreign languages, and replicable non-institutional education and training. Non-formal education tools provide an opportunity to shift a vision and to reproduce these practices within youth workers' or trainers' communities; 3)interconnection: enhance self-empowerment and self-esteem, intercultural awareness, learn to address the needs of the disadvantaged, increase support and promotion of mobility activities for learners, acknowledge the need for collaborative efforts to affect change. In our training, we develop and applied democratic, non-violent communication to express individual needs and to build active listening, participation, empathy, proactive reactions, and local community resilience. Our training explored different dimensions of sustainability applied to our everyday life for these reasons and more. Specifically, its aims are: -Earth Care: Earth care implies nourishing the living soil, the planet, and the environment. The state of the soil is often the best measure for the health of society. -People Care: permaculture focuses on positives, existing opportunities rather than obstacles. Empowering oneself means accepting personal responsibility and becoming a conscious creator of one's own reality. -Fair Share: being active citizens implies taking action, acknowledging that permanent growth and taking advantage of limited resources is impossible and unsustainable.
