The REUSE training course aims to equip 28 youth workers with the knowledge, competences, and practical tools to tackle one of the most pressing environmental challenges in Europe: the overuse of single-use plastics. From a youth work perspective, the project focuses on building capacities that are directly transferable to local communities, schools, and youth centers, ensuring that learning leads to tangible action and behavioral change. Youth workers participating in the training will gain advanced understanding of EU-level data on plastic use, behavioral-change techniques, and effective awareness strategies. They will develop skills in designing and facilitating interactive, hands-on activities such as Plastic Hunt Challenges, Design Thinking Labs, and community micro-actions. The project seeks to give youth workers the tools to inspire young people to reduce single-use plastics in daily life. Through experiential methods, participants learn how to engage peers in critical thinking, action-based learning, and creative problem solving. The aim is to transform abstract environmental concepts into tangible practices that communities can adopt, fostering long-term behavior change. By the end of the training, youth workers will have created prototypes, micro-actions, and campaigns that are directly implementable in their communities. These tools include reusable product designs, zero-plastic cooking challenges, eco-art projects, and awareness campaigns. The focus is on practical outputs that inspire replication and scale-up, enabling youth workers to translate training content into meaningful community interventions. Youth workers will learn to design and implement micro-actions that engage local stakeholders, such as schools, NGOs, businesses, and municipalities. The training emphasizes advocacy skills, evidence-based reporting, and public engagement, enabling youth workers to influence community attitudes toward single-use plastics. This practical application ensures that youth work contributes directly to environmental sustainability and empowers young people as agents of change. Participants will develop self-awareness of the competences they acquire during the training, including leadership, project management, communication, environmental literacy, and facilitation skills. Through daily reflection circles, peer evaluation, and Youthpass documentation, youth workers will recognize how learning translates into professional growth, ensuring that the training strengthens their role as effective, innovative facilitators in their communities. Objectives (what success looks like) • Increase participating youth workers competence to design and run at least two practical reuse or single-use substitution activities back home. • Produce a reproducible youth work campaign for rising green awareness through youth work - ”Single-Use Everyday Plastics”. • Organizing local community micro-actions (e.g., refill points, “cups not disposables” campaigns, school reuse challenges) during or immediately after the training with measurable indicators (waste audits, participation numbers). • Build a cross-national network for exchange and follow-up, ensuring the project scales across partner countries. • Raise local public awareness in Cyprus through local community event and online promotion, increasing visibility of both problem and solutions.
