Objectives

With Nurture our Nature we wanted to provide youth workers a set of tools and practical experiences with environmental and climate change education that they could bring back in their communities and use to guide young people to embrace a sustainable attitude and live and learn in harmony with nature. We’ve always strongly believed that what can really unite us is a common vision for a better world, a sustainable future where humanity can thrive in harmony. When we wrote this project we were already convinced that nature needs to be nurtured and a transition to such a future is possible: we think indeed that nowadays the responsibility of taking care of nature it’s in young people’s hands. During the project we provided youth workers and partner NGOs with several tools and methodologies to ease this process. The specific objectives of the project were: - bring awareness and encourage a collective reflection about the global ecological issue, particularly on a European scale, and to which extent our lifestyle affects the nature and contributes to climate change; - to exchange best practices on various ecological action strategies that can be transferred to participants' contexts; - bring awareness about the 13th UN Sustainable Development Goal, about climate change; - discover and promote, but also offer the participants specific tools/methods they can easily implement in their daily life to reduce their negative impact on the environment; - raise awareness about Erasmus+ program and the ways the participants can use it to implement their own projects and ideas; - to promote the inclusion and employability of marginalized young people with fewer opportunities, as well as to empower them with non-formal education content; - to develop sustainable follow-up actions targeting hard to reach young people that youth workers will implement in the after the training.
