The "Educating World Changers" program is a transformative environmental education program designed to engage youth through non-formal education (NFE) methodologies.
The program’s model integrates sustainable education, transformative learning theories, place-based learning, and experiential learning. It embodies a holistic approach by connecting the cognitive domain (head) with critical reflection, the affective domain (heart) with relational understanding, and the psychomotor domain (hands) with actionable, hands-on practices.
EARTHgames4EyoUth was an Erasmus+ project developed by passionate partners from Romania, Slovakia, Armenia, and Poland, aiming to equip young Europeans with essential Earth competences. Focused on tackling climate change through education, the project promoted knowledge, skills, and attitudes that support sustainable action. By using interactive games, non-formal learning, and a clear competence framework, it made environmental education engaging, accessible, and relevant to youth.
The project was coordinated by Mare Nostrum NGO (Romania), with support from Slovak Eco Quality (Slovakia), UniGrowth Development Center (Armenia) and Today We Have (Poland). Each partner brought unique expertise in environmental education, competence development, training, and gamification. Together, partners bridged the gap between environmental policy and grassroots action, empowering young people to become active agents of change.
