With “Fair Trade for a Sustainable Tomorrow” we want to create a learning space where young people can critically explore global trade, reflect on their own role within it and gain the confidence to act in their communities. From a youth work perspective, the project is not only about increasing knowledge on fair trade, but about strengthening competences, participation and intercultural dialogue through non-formal education. Our first objective is to increase young people’s understanding of global supply chains, price distribution and power relations in international trade. Many young people consume products daily without knowing how they are produced or who benefits most from their sale. Through experiential methods such as simulations, role plays and debates, we want participants to move beyond abstract concepts and connect economic systems with human realities. In youth work practice, this means learning by doing and reflecting, not by listening to lectures. By the end of the exchange, participants should be able to explain how global trade works in simple terms and identify both the potential and the limits of fair trade. Our second objective is to develop critical thinking and informed opinion-forming. Topics such as fair trade, ethical consumption or sustainability are often presented in simplified ways. We want participants to analyse arguments, question marketing claims and engage with different perspectives respectfully. Through participatory methods like Debate Corners, Ethical Dilemma Café and Mythbusters Lab, participants practise expressing and defending opinions while listening to others. This supports youth work goals of empowering young people to become active, critical citizens rather than passive consumers of information. Our third objective is to strengthen empathy, intercultural understanding and solidarity. By working in mixed international teams and exploring case studies from different regions of the world, participants are encouraged to see trade not only as an economic issue but as a human one. Intercultural evenings, reflection families and creative activities support mutual understanding between participants from different countries and backgrounds. In youth work practice, this contributes to breaking stereotypes and building trust across cultures, which is essential for European cooperation. Our fourth objective is to enhance key competences relevant for personal and civic development. Through non-formal learning, participants improve communication skills, teamwork, problem-solving and project planning. The Campaign Design Labs in particular aim to strengthen initiative and entrepreneurship competence, as participants transform ideas into realistic awareness-raising actions. Reflection sessions connected to Youthpass help them recognise these competences consciously. This objective links the thematic content with transferable skills that can be used in education, work and community engagement. Our fifth objective is to support active participation and follow-up engagement. The project is designed so that participants not only learn about fair trade, but also create concrete outputs that can be implemented locally. By preparing workshops, campaigns or small events, they experience that their ideas can have an impact. From a youth work perspective, this is about moving from awareness to agency. We want participants to feel capable of initiating discussions, sharing knowledge and taking small but meaningful actions in their communities. We want to implement this project because we see that many young people feel concerned about global injustice and sustainability, yet often feel powerless or confused about what they can realistically do. Fair trade is not only an economic concept, but a gateway to understanding how our everyday choices are connected to global inequalities. By creating a safe, intercultural and participatory learning space, we want to transform frustration into informed awareness and awareness into action. Our aim is to help young people realise that they are not just consumers, but citizens with influence. Through shared reflection, dialogue and practical tools, we want to strengthen their confidence to question systems, make conscious decisions and initiate change in their own communities. We aim to combine thematic learning with competence development and intercultural collaboration. Through participatory non-formal methods, structured reflection and shared responsibility, the project supports young people in becoming more informed, confident and engaged members of their local and European communities.
