Objectives

The world and Europe facing various global challenges and environmental issues. The increasing overproduction and overconsumption has negative effects on our environment. This problem was the starting point of our project to act together with our partner organizations to be part of change. Our experiences in youth work shown that young people become more sensitive regarding to environmental issues every year. However, there is a need of practical knowledge to support young people to be part of the solution towards to increasing environmental problems in their local communities and also help them in spreading the knowledge of sustainable life style for others. In this point, innovative and attractive elements in promotion of sustainable life style is playing important role. As a result of our meetings with partner organisations in AIR project, we agreed that art has huge potential to attract society and raise awareness. Therefore, we decided to connect the topic of recycling with art. AIR youth project was aiming to share new techniques, concept and approach with young people through enjoyable activities to re-use waste materials for promoting European Green Deal and sustainable life style. Also to encourage and attract people to change their consumption habits in a more eco-friendly way through creative recycling. We worked to achieve below goals during the AIR project; • to raise awareness among 36 young people from 6 participating organisation on the potential of art and creativity as a means for sustainable life style. • to empower young people with creative competence in recycling and media contents to impact local communities. • to promote 10th European Youth Goal: Sustainable Green Europe in an attractive way through art and recycling. • to improve participants knowledge in media and promotion for carrying the project outcomes in wider, • to promote opportunities for young people in Erasmus+ programe and non-formal education and hence motivate young people to take part in the projects in future.
