Balatonszárszó, Hungary
2024.01.18. – 2024.01.26.
Intro
“GREENCLUDED” is a project of Csermely. The project aims to bring together passionate young individuals from various backgrounds under a common goal: to learn, share, and empower each other as actors for the environment. More specifically: how can you situationally and structurally make your event greener? The project contributes to the capacity building and learning of youth within formal and non-formal education, aligning with the objectives of the Erasmus+ program.
Description:
Environmental problems affect each one of us, no matter where we live or which language we
speak. The next generations are most impacted by the consequences of climate change. Therefore young people are concerned about our environment and engaged in our world and nature. A shift of changing attitudes towards our affection, behavior and cognition of nature and pollution is needed. How do we organize in a green way? More eco-friendly, more sustainable? How do we envision our future events?
It is crucial to recognize our role and play as an active part in resolving these challenges.This Training Course is an opportunity for active young individuals to come together, share their experience, dive into interactive activities and group work, in order to gain a better understanding of certain environmental problems and acquire practical skills and experiences to engage in green activism. The program will be rooted in non-formal educational methodology, which includes workshops, interactive games, and collaborative activities.
