The project chose ecology as its central theme based on the shared conviction that a fresh and effective approach is essential for the benefit of young people. Working with youth, we found their active involvement in green activities gratifying and impactful, fostering an environmentally aware and developed society, ultimately leading to a better life for all. Youngsters face challenges from widespread pollution, unhealthy lifestyles, and confusing ecological information, posing risks to their future. To address this, we conducted surveys targeting individuals aged 18-25, aiming to understand their perceptions of specific ecology subtopics and their importance. The selected age group represents a critical phase of life where parental influence significantly shapes identities as independent citizens. By encouraging ecological approaches during this stage, we believed it would positively impact not only individuals but also their peers, fostering a flow of sharing and improvement. Survey responses indicated varying levels of knowledge and perception of ecological habits, influenced by diverse cultural backgrounds. While some topics like water-saving were considered highly important despite limited knowledge, others, such as upcycling and food waste, revealed differing levels of understanding and importance. Overall, the surveys revealed that ecology remains more theoretical than practical in most people's lives. Consequently, there is a strong need for: Creating an open-minded, youth-oriented context free from outdated preconceptions that may hinder the ecological debate. Promoting critical thinking to discern essential ecological knowledge from common misconceptions. Introducing green-friendly habits through workshops, seminars, and outdoor experiences to facilitate implementation in daily life. The project aims to address these needs individually and collectively, enhancing young people's capacity to make a difference. With this in mind, we have set the following goals: 1. During the 10 months of the project, the 24 participants in the project would gain knowledge in many fields of ecology including food waste, upcycling and water saving; 2. By participating in the activities, young people taking part in the YE would raise their awareness and boost their confidence about the importance of their own contribution to the environment. 3. By the end of the 10 months of the project, the 24 participants would acquire at least 5 new ecological habits that they would gradually include in their everyday routine. Furthermore, the primary focus of this project was to integrate ecology and ecological habits into the lives of young individuals while promoting youth exchanges and mentorship to enhance their competencies and skills in line with the objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme. This project was particularly suitable for mobility projects and youth exchanges due to its specific attention to youngsters facing fewer opportunities, coming from diverse social backgrounds, and residing in disadvantaged areas. The intercultural exchange at the core of the project fostered foreign language proficiency, heightened diversity awareness, and promoted active citizenship among all participants. Moreover, an important objective of the project was to increase the motivation of young people to participate in future education or training activities and, in doing so, become more actively engaged in the initiatives carried out by the consortium organizations, as well as share and embrace the values of the European Union.
