We wanted to achieve the following objectives: - Developed curriculum program with set of activities, methods, instructions and methods for implementation in 4 languages (English, French, Italian, Macedonian); - Developed and implemented 6 Green Entrepreneurial Objectives by 30 young people in 3 countries; - 6 local communities benefited from the Green Entrepreneurial Objectives; - The Circular Economy Objectives-CEO program was offered to other realities working with young people (youth centers, high schools, associations, NGOs, incubation centers targeting youngsters, employment centers et simila);as an extra-curricular educational program for environment and entrepreneurial education; - 4 of Green Entrepreneurial objectives identified by the young people, continue to be implemented by the young people in their local communities and are to be submitted as a solidarity project; - All three organisations have included the topic of Circular economy in their own three year program planning.
We applied for this project to address environmental sustainability and youth employability through the green and circular economy. This model offers innovative environmental solutions while providing new job opportunities for young people. The urgent need for climate action, increasing waste generation, and high youth unemployment rates prompted our involvement. We addressed the needs of participating organizations, such as Ride In 971, LEAD and EDUACTIVE, which aimed to shift focus towards circular economy interventions and community participation. We also addressed the needs of target groups like young people in Italy, N.Macedonia and Guadeloupe, who faced challenges related to pollution, waste management, and unemployment. The project's objective was to contribute to sustainable practices using the green and circular economy model by creating educational curriculum, training 30 young people in entrepreneurial skills, and implementing by young people 6 green entrepreneurial objectives (GEO) action plans in the three countries. This aligns with the European Green Deal and Agenda 2030, promoting a cleaner, competitive Europe with sustainable development and innovative job opportunities for young people.
