Manual
This manual examines the influence of culture on the beliefs, attitudes and behaviours relevant to environmental issues and it offers practical solutions for youth workers to tackle this topic with young people.
it offers a starting point in exploring what we call here "the elephant in the room" - the undeniable, yet alarmingly overlooked in non-formal and formal education settings - link between nature and culture, environmental awareness and identity.
The reader may expect to receive:
- an overview of the Key competences framework for lifelong learning and an analysis of current list and description of competences through the lens of environmental awareness, knowledge and skill, showing that what we call here "environmental competence" isn't mentioned anywhere as such, but is "present" everywhere, making it that much more difficult to approach as youth workers and educators;
- a possible definition of the environmental competence, one that is described by more than 50 participants in the project "Culture-Coding; contribution to a global culture of environmental concern": youth workers, trainers in non formal education, University professors, teachers, and most importantly, young people;
- an overview of the non formal education methodology aiming to develop such competence among young people, including the approach, setting, partnerships and exemplary methods, as well as tools to self or peer assess the level of competence;
- a practical suggestion on how to recognise and valorise the environmental competence using the available tool such as YouthPass;
- a list of references for further reading and exploring the topic;
- an open call for collaboration with the partner associations who worked on this project.
This Manual is available in English, Italian, Spanish and Serbian languages.
