The project aimed to turn young people’s willingness to contribute into sustained, structured volunteering, by removing typical participation barriers (lack of knowledge, recognition, time constraints, and low responsibility/agency) and connecting volunteering to real community needs through community mapping and learning-by-doing. From a youth work practice angle, this meant creating an enabling environment where young people were not passive beneficiaries, but active co-creators who could plan, test, reflect on, and communicate meaningful SDG-linked actions. Objectives of the project (youth work practice objectives) Increase volunteering literacy and access: Equip participants with concrete local/national/international volunteering pathways (including digital/remote options), so they know where to start and how to participate safely and meaningfully. Strengthen motivation, responsibility, and youth agency: Link sustainability challenges to daily life and local realities through community mapping, country comparison and evidence-informed reflection, so participants experience that their contribution matters and can be sustained. Develop competences for SDG-oriented volunteering via non-formal learning: Build practical youth work competences (teamwork, communication, planning, leadership, civic responsibility and sustainability literacy) through participatory methods, NGO visits/guest speakers, and hands-on volunteering practice. Improve recognition of learning and employability relevance: Translate volunteering into clear learning outcomes and portfolio evidence (Youthpass-oriented competence language, documented roles and media outputs), strengthening participants’ future pathways in “green” engagement and opportunities. Create visible outcomes and long-term follow-up: Ensure results go beyond the mobility by producing public-facing outputs (videos/infographics/booklet) and planning structured follow-up volunteering and dissemination actions in each partner country.
