Eco camps as platform for sustainable capacity building for youth

It represents an intensive training in fields of project management and sustainable development. Every day of the course participants will go through 6 hours of lectures, 2 hours of writing and 4 hours of work.
Lectures - consisted of two parts. Theoretical knowledge in the field of project management, NGO management, fundraising etc. will be one part. The second part will be lectures in the field of sustainable green development and will cover three main topics, ecological construction, renewable sources of energy and organic food production.
Writing – project proposal writing. Every participant will work with mentors in writing their own project proposal and at the end of the project they will have a finished project proposal.
Work – helping the mentors in preparation and execution of practical workshops.
It will include practice in ecological construction in which we will demonstrate some of the most popular techniques of construction.
Making solar heaters, rocket mass heaters, water filters will be practical workshops in the field of renewables.
Planning and designing your own small organic garden as well as food preparation will be the workshops in the field of organic production.
Besides formal part, the participants will have a continuous opportunity for networking, they will learn how to set up a temporary base camp for manifestations like this one and enjoy in meeting new people around the world, share stories of culture and art.
It is important to notice that the participants will be completely safe at all times because only the mentors will handle dangerous tools.
The idea of this camp is to start the initial fire in the minds of participants and set them off to become new game changers enriched with the valuable knowledge that they received.
Project partners and coordinators will help them along the way through our established network.

After all of the project partners have gone through training course and have acquired all the inputs for realization of such initiatives, each partner organization will implement small scale activity in their local community. Some will use their knowledge to do humanitarian work, some will get involved in youth entrepreneurship, while others will get involved in organizations of civil society, or become engineers and invent the next big thing in climate change products. It does not matter in which are they choose to continue their professional work our network and organizations will be there to help them along the way. Combining our resources we will make the impact of this initiative global and follow the dream of sustainable future.
