Environconsciousness Youth Mobility Project

Acknowledging that there is still an unexploited potential in green economy and that youth workers, as direct link with young people and specifically with disadvantaged youth groups, this project, is thus focusing on two main general objectives:

• To increase the knowledge and the practical competences of youth workers on environmental awareness policies and practices.
• To increase the sustainable and greener capacity of youth work, preparing youth organizations to better incorporate green policies and behaviors in their daily work as a positive example to the youngsters they work with. 

To do so, the project is also focusing in a series of specific objectives: 

• Raising youth worker’s awareness on EU sustainable policies, funding and strategies to promote the capacity of youth work to contribute towards the goal of achieving the EU environment policy.
• To foster discussions around the significance of youth involvement in eco-tourism, green travel and recycling efforts in their local communities.
• To promote green-economy, green travel and sustainable youth practices in the youth workers’ daily work with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
• To promote the youth workers’ knowledge and best practices of how to conduct sustainable youth work and projects and apply for KA1 projects that are related to sustainability.
• To discover and experience practical tools (mobile applications, activities and methods) that can be used to ensure the sustainability of youth projects and youth work.
