Our collaborative, active constructivist project between 3 youth groups from Ireland, Italy and Austria was entitled 'Harmony in Motion: Bridging Music, Social Inclusion and Outdoor Pursuits for Youths.' The objective of the project was to engage and empower youths aged 18-30 in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)by integrating and aligning project on ESDs with the universal language of music and outdoor pursuits. Because ESD aligns closely with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this project was a very appropriate extension for our youth groups as we had completed a project in 2022 on the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. We built on, and were informed by our previous project experience making this an action-oriented, transformative pedagogy, which supported active, self-directed learning, peer-participation and youth agency, a problem-orientation style in a collaborative project. There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) in the Education for Sustainable Development Programme. Our project targetted some of the SDG goals. The targeted SDG goals embraced global challenges that are crucial for the survival of humanity. 'What ESD requires is a shift from teaching to learning. It asks for an action-oriented, transformative pedagogy, which supports self-directed learning, participation and collaboration, problem-orientation and a collaborative approach. Only such pedagogical approaches make possible the development of the key competencies needed for promoting sustainable development' (UNESCO, 2017). Our project fulfilled these requirements. The Benefits of our project were our project: Empowered Individuals and Communities: By equipping learners with knowledge and skills, ESD fostered self-reliance, critical thinking, and resilience. We Promoted Sustainable Societies: ESD helped build a foundation for more equitable, just, and environmentally sound societies. We Mitigated Climate Change: Through increased awareness and action-oriented education, our project contributed in a practical way to adapt to climate change impacts. The SMART targets for this entire project derived from the best learning: Our SMART targets were (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-Bound). At the end of the project the youths had fulfilled our SMART objectives of the project as follows the youths had: • Practiced an action-oriented transformative pedagogy that engaged youths in participative, systemic, creative and innovative thinking atractical perspectives on issues of global change and their local manifestations. • Engaged with the discourse on and the practice of ESD in its local, national and global context. • Reflected on the concept of sustainable development, the challenges and the importance of their own role in this process. • Understood how cultural diversity, environmental protection and personal development are integral elements of ESD and how to make them a part of our lives. • Identified local learning opportunities related to sustainable development and had built cooperative relationships. • Evaluated and assessed the learner their own sustainability competencies and sustainability-related learning outcomes. • Gotten practical perspectives on issues of global change and their local manifestations Because this was just a 1 flow programme of 6 days the youths articulated their wish for realism in the project aims. Therefore, all 3 groups voted we should concentrate on the following SDG’s that could be practically applied to OUR lives in OUR context. The 7 SDG’s the youths selected after several pre-flow meetings were: SDG 3: Good health and Well-being (the building block of our project) SDG 4: Quality Education (through the process of this project) SDG 11: Sustainable Communities (through specific activities in this project) SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production (underpinning all practices in this project) SDG 14: Life Below Water (through specific activities in this project) SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (through the framework of the 3 youth groups and outreach to Institutions) SDG 17: Partnerships (us in this project!). It is clear our project aligns to the ERASMUS+ objective stated as, ‘to promote non-formal and informal learning mobility and active participation among young people, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion, creativity and innovation at the level of organisations and policies in the field of youth.’ As well as the fulfilling the above Erasmus objective our project also fulfilled the Erasmus+ Youth Strategy Horizontal Priorities of: Inclusion and Diversity Environmental Sustainability and responsibility Virtual and real life cooperation and mobility Active Participation in the Erasmus Youth Networks. Dr Maura Thornton (Irish) was overall co-ordinator of the project.
