GENTLY aims to highlight the main pollution parameters, inform the individuals about eco-friendly alternatives to everyday practices and services used, and educate individuals about environmental facts. Finally, it is of urgent importance for an equal Europe and equal world to look forward without leaving no one behind. GENTLY focuses on both youth workers but also people with visual impairments in order to reach as much as possible. The main scope of the project is to create an innovative package of games that will include both board and online games targeting young people and young workers and also including solutions for the visually impaired. The developed game included solutions, practices and environmental issues related to energy efficiency and environmental concerns. On the version of the board game directed to young workers, different practices and solutions followed from European companies are included, so as to familiarise and inform the young people on eco-friendly methods and energy efficiency strategies.
GENTLY addresses the problems of climate change and environmental degradation. It targets young people as they represent the generation that will mostly be affected in the future from the severe consequences. The project aims to contribute to the European Green Deal by suggesting non informal educational methods that will inform and educate young people on what is happening in their environment and how they can mitigate the adverse effects by taking immediate actions. In order to reach as many young people as possible and be accessible to everyone, specific methods are also developed that address the needs of visually impaired people. GENTLY focuses on three out of 17 sustainable development goals that are goal number 4 ‘Education’, goal number 12 ‘Sustainable consumption and Production patterns’ and goal number 13 ‘Taking urgent action to compact climate change and its impacts’. The project developed an inspiring and educative framework for acting and achieving these sustainability goals.
