The project objectives were the creation of: 1. The Eco-Toolbox Methodological e-Guide for Young People on Innovative Climate Change Adaptation Techniques provides information on how to adjust to the modern climate change adaptation mindset and how to use it to implement innovative methodological and strategical eco-friendly thinking during youth work (PR1), the Trainers' e-Seminar Curriculum on Environmental Issues (PR2), an "Eco-Friendly" Educational Game (PR3) and a "How to save Planet Earth" Video Animation (PR4), all interconnected. 2. Organisation 5 Multiplier Events (one for each partner) to promote the project, its project results and outcomes among youth workers and youth learners and other stakeholders (organizations involved in climate change and sustainable development, youth organizations, policymakers and reformers, youth workers/trainers/educators working with young people, etc.) 3. Learn about GBL as practised in each partner’s country, exchange good practices and experiences, develop common recommendations and guidelines and improve their learning of climate change and use of GBL.
Eco-Toolbox brought together 5 NGOs to address common needs and provided initiatives with the capacity and skills relating to GBL through trained youth workers through GBL processes, increasing the opportunities for young people to learn, with the ultimate aim of their empowerment to tackle environmental issues and climate change achieving sustainability and thus cohesion of society. Through identified evidence from the GBL literature suggested that GBL enhances learning outcomes, and applies to learning psychology. The results provide increased motivation, raised interest in specific topics, multiple representations, an open-ended approach to information, control of own learning processes, and peer collaboration. As part of the project, we created the basics of game development based on our perspective on the causes and effects of global climate change. We addressed the following needs they are facing: lack of understanding of the importance of environmental crisis and climate change adaptation needs; lack of awareness of the urgent need for the active involvement of organizations and youth in actions towards a low-carbon; lack of necessary tools & competencies needed to come up with creative, innovative solutions.
