The project's objectives were comprehensive, aiming to address several key challenges while aligning with the European Union's long-term goals. Our main aim was to foster environmental literacy among youth, empowering them to become environmentally-conscious entrepreneurs and active participants in decision-making processes related to environmental issues. This involved increasing their understanding of environmental concepts, developing strategies for green economy sectors, and providing opportunities for skill development. Additionally, we wanted to enhance the capacity of staff members by providing them with comprehensive knowledge, experience, and strategies related to environmental topics. This included promoting awareness of European Union values, facilitating cultural interaction, and improving language proficiency and entre-preneurship skills among staff. By doing so, we aimed to equip them with the tools and expertise needed to effectively address environmental challenges and contribute to sustainability efforts. Moreover, the project aimed to improve educational outcomes for young people at risk of failure by fostering their engagement and success.
The inception of the "Greenworld - Think Green for the World" project stemmed from a commitment to tackle pressing environmental issues while nurturing a new wave of environmentally-conscious entrepreneurs. The initiative was prompted by the European Union's (EU) long-term strategy for 2023 and 2030, which underscored transitioning towards a low-carbon economy and investing in green growth initiatives. Through innovative teaching methods and concepts, the project aimed to enhance environmental literacy and cultivate green entre-preneurship among youth, aligning with the EU's overarching objectives of sustainability and climate action. The principal aims of the project were to bolster the environmental literacy of youth, develop strategies for green economy sectors and employment prospects, facilitate the acquisition and application of integrated, basic, digital, and language skills by youth, and foster active participation in political decision-making processes. Additionally, the project aimed to impart knowledge, experience, and strategies related to environmental topics to staff, raise awareness of EU values and promote cultural interaction among staff, enhance language proficiency and entrepreneurship skills among staff&youth.
