Our aim was to discover innovative ways to engage and participate in addressing the environmental crisis. We established three goals for our project. Firstly, we wanted to help our organizations understand and address the environmental crisis caused by human behavior. Secondly, we aimed to improve the skills of our trainers and mentors when working with adult women. Thirdly, we wanted to empower mothers to take action, ask questions, debate, and proactively build a healthier and more sustainable relationship with the environment. Our ultimate goal was to encourage women to proactively initiate change by inspiring their families and communities to engage in more environmentally friendly behavior. Considering the profile and interests of our trainers, we were enthusiastic about exploring themes related to climate change by promoting active citizenship and civic engagement on environmental issues, building closer understanding of EU actions on environmental protection, and encouraging alternative forms of participation through artistic expression.
Our project aimed to empower women in caregiving roles to find practical solutions to daily environmental challenges they face. Despite initiatives like the European Green Deal and UN recognition of women's role in sustainable development, gender disparities persist. Women are underrepresented in environmental decision-making and are disproportionately affected by energy poverty. Our goal was to increase mothers' involvement in promoting activism, communication, and community engagement on energy, climate, and sustainability issues. We wanted to provide the knowledge to empower them to become active agents of environmental change, creating a healthier environment for their families and communities.
