Objectives

By implementing the project, we want the participants (youth workers) to exchange experiences, gain new knowledge, expertise and practice for innovating educational activities when working with youth. The goal of the project is to increase the key competencies of 30 youth workers, exchange knowledge, experience, expertise and good practice in informal education on the topic of "climate change and energy security". Application of acquired knowledge and innovative activities in work with youth by the end of the year. 2023. The objectives of mobility: - to obtain or strengthen key competencies - interaction with people, ability to communicate (intelligible expression and the ability to listen to an another opinion), ability to work in a team, solving new, unknown tasks, improving language levels; - be able to explain what causes climate change on Earth, how it affects our way of life, what is the responsibility of the individual; - learning through experience and developing creative thinking; - to support the participants' critical thinking skills to understand the meaning of the term "responsible eating"; - strengthen the ability to anticipate and plan the future. The main topics of mobility will be: - obtaining basic information and understanding the topic "climate change", - adaptation to climate change, - adaptation by reducing energy supplies; how to save and reduce energy and food costs; possibilities of self-supply of food and items of common consumption. Our organization has long specialized in working with excluded groups of children and youth. We base our work with youth on the principles of sustainable development, i.e. means that we are trying to solve social, economic and environmental problems. In addition to problems in the social field, employment is a frequent problem. A lot of our clients - adult youth - are unemployed and on the poverty line. Poverty is very closely related to environmental problems, healthy lifestyle and hygiene. By implementing the project, we want to give young people the maximum amount of information about how they can help their own families to reduce the financial costs on energy, food, drugstores, clothing, transportation, etc. with minimal costs (or even without costs - by savings). To give the youth basic information about the significant contribution of each individual to the reduction of carbon dioxide production and why it affects them. To show the target group how environmental measures can be economically effective at the same time.
