Environmental issues present some of the Europe’s most complex challenges requiring quick attention. And it is young people who can make a positive difference for the future of the world. Youth has important environmental concerns and responsibilities. Fortunately, young people have a special talent for invention and the development of new forms of action and activism and can generate more effective responses to environmental issues among their peers. In the above context, the overall aim of the youth project was to develop partners’ co-operation in the youth field by empowering youth to develop strategies regarding safer environmental issues and take public control over local and regional decisions influencing environment. The objectives of the youth exchange in connection with the aim were: - To raise the participants’ awareness about the roots and grounds of environmental problems; - To compare situations with safer environment and actions to support it in different partner countries; - To recognise the role of the youth in dealing with environmental issues locally during European-wide project; - To know more about optimal methods and ways of controlling actions that may harm the environment; - To use creative and attractive tools to attract attention of the community and youth towards issues of safer environment; - To share best practice and methods of youth participation in the programmes of public control over environmentally unfriendly actions; - To develop ways of getting peers interested in environmental issues and empowerment of youth groups; - To develop participants’ knowledge and motivation to understand European youth programmes and their potential to support safer environment projects; - To support personal and organisational development of peer leaders / educators by extending their competences to integrate elements of environmental security education within their projects and practice and support their role as multipliers with young people; - To introduce Youthpass accreditation instruments to participants; - To initiate new peer led projects.
