The project "Green Empowerment" aimed to raise environmental awareness and promote a sustainable lifestyle for 16 youngsters and 4 team leaders from 4 countries. The project addressed the need for young people to be aware of the growing environmental threats and changes that society is facing today. "Green Empowerment" aimed to address the need of young people to understand how can exactly take action about local and global environmental issues by providing a non-formal and informal educational experience for the young participants. On a more practical level, the Youth Exchange lasted eight days, during which youngsters participated in non-formal and informal sessions and workshops. The program addressed the following main objectives: - provide reliable sources of information about environmental issues; - involve youngsters in environmental activism both on a local and a European level; - inform participants about the European Union's environmental policies; - facilitate access to eco-friendly programmes in the field of sustainable development; - support the integration of environmentally conscious behaviours and practices in everyday life promotes the cooperation between organisations and the relevant partners in the field of youth mobility and environmental education. Furthermore, the project aimed to strengthen bonds between youngsters through the common European values of solidarity, inclusion, and cooperation. In addition, "Green Empowerment" helped participants improve their ability to communicate in a multilingual context. A relevant aim was to encourage young people to develop social skills and teamwork abilities. Moreover, "Green Empowerment" pursued relevant objectives linked to youth exchange projects. The sessions of the project were based on non-formal learning. They promoted: - the intercultural and peer-to-peer dialogue; - learning and exchange of good practices through non-formal education; - creating a safe and inclusive environment where youngsters from different cultures and social backgrounds can create meaningful connections and relations. The project also aligned with the framework of the EU Youth Strategy. More specifically, the objectives of "Green Empowerment." directly addressed one of the 11 European Youth Goals: the development of a sustainable green Europe. To a minor extent, "Green Empowerment" also pursued a second European Youth Goal by providing reliable sources of information about environmental issues to the participants.
