The main objectives of this project were to: Promote social inclusion practices for young people with migrant backgrounds, including refugees, by actively involving them in community-based environmental actions. Empower young people as true agents of change for environmental sustainability by fostering their social engagement and participation in sustainability efforts. Develop social entrepreneurship competencies in young people, particularly around environmental issues, to enhance their future employability in social-ecological sectors and green jobs. Promote digital knowledge and competencies among young people, enabling them to use digital tools to create change in society, support environmental sustainability, and increase their employability. Facilitate the exchange of ideas and best practices among partner organizations on how to effectively promote inclusion, environmental sustainability, and digital transformation in mixed groups.
We applied for this project to address two critical needs: the social inclusion of young people with migrant backgrounds, including refugees, and the pressing need to make environmental sustainability more accessible and actionable for youth. Migrants and refugees often face barriers to community engagement and social integration, while environmental sustainability is a global challenge that requires the active participation of all citizens. This project sought to bridge these two areas by empowering young people, particularly those with migrant or refugee backgrounds, to become true agents of change for environmental sustainability. Additionally, we recognized the need to equip youth with the digital skills necessary for future employability in the growing green economy, as well as to promote social entrepreneurship and active citizenship. By fostering intercultural dialogue and environmental action, the project aimed to enhance inclusion, build stronger communities, and address climate change
