GreenACT is designed to enhance environmental education and awareness of young people through the organisation of GREEN SCHOOL PROGRAMME for making young people more familiar with the idea of environmental citizenship, based on the fact that the future depends on each one by acting responsibly and positively towards our environment and developing sustainable solutions for addressing environmental challenges. In a period where the Earth faces the consequences of climate change and global warming crisis and the need for mitigation of climate change is emerging, GreenACT aims to support further these youth initiatives and raise more awareness in 6 partner countries, by educating young people on environmental issues, inspire them in developing a firm ecological mindset, and invite them to have a positive impact in their communities as active agents.
Project goals:
• to promote the idea for establishing GREEN SCHOOLS for raising young people’s environmental awareness;
• to set up the GreenACT MOVEMENT (a network of young activists) for coordinating their actions and engaging citizens;
• to build and increase the capacity of partner organizations to take action regarding waste reduction in the partner countries by encouraging local communities to recycle and reuse;
• to equip youth workers with new sustainable environmental skills in order to empower more young people;
• to facilitate brainstorming activities on challenges and possible solutions of topics such as alternative forms of socio-economy, biodiversity and food production, sustainable production and consumption, transport, etc.
