Objectives

In implementing our project, we wanted to contribute to young people’s awareness, skills and knowledge in the topics of sustainability, kindness, and mindfulness. Our project thereby aimed to support young people on their journeys of personal development and being active citizens. Our three topics aimed to help them gain competency on three relevant levels: “sustainability” was about implementing green ways and contributing to the environment, “kindness” was about social connection and inclusion, and “mindfulness” was about personal development and resilience. We wanted to empower young people to connect more with nature and understand our role in sustaining it, and also become more aware of the diverse realities in our society and become more inclusive. Through experiencing the importance of sustainability and inclusion, we wished to encourage young people to voice their views and needs in regards to preserving nature and becoming a more open, tolerant and inclusive society. We hoped to enable young people to see the impact they can have by starting their own self-sustaining activities within this project. By interacting with decision-makers and receiving their support, they could become more aware of their own capability to bring change into their surroundings. At the same time, by sharing the results of the project with a wider audience, we wanted to share some basic steps and recipes for a more ecological, mindful and co-human friendly living. To this end, we have created a blog and a collection of opinions of young people "MOSAIK". Accordingly, the objectives of our project were as follows: #1: Connect deeply with nature and learn practical ways to sustain and protect it #2: Express kindness and inclusiveness, recognizing how we can be allies in society and work together, as well as share appreciation and respect for our differences and even bigger commonalities #3: Voice and action: Express wishes, share needs and show intentions towards decision-makers, and foster change by small and big action steps, from behaviour change to highly visible spin-off projects
