Youth4Green Sustainability and Digital Leadership Toolkit
A hands-on toolkit co-created by Youth4Green participants to turn the European Green Deal into short, repeatable youth-work actions: action plan, campaign brief, short MUN, forum theatre, city observation walk and low-waste event. Easy to adapt locally
Aims of the tool
Aim(s)
• Strengthen youth workers’ Green Deal knowledge and skills
• Provide low-cost methods that lead to small, measurable local actions
• Build facilitation, documentation and reflection habits (incl. Youthpass)
• Connect awareness to action through social campaigns and civic participation
Description of the tool
This toolkit was produced during the Youth4Green training and co-created by 40 youth workers from six countries. It packages six ready methods: one-page action plan, campaign brief, short Model UN, forum theatre, city observation walk, low-waste event. Each method includes clear steps, a checklist and a simple output (notes, photos, short summary). The design is grounded in non-formal learning and links to EU competence ideas (GreenComp/DigComp). Use single methods in 30–90 minute slots or combine them for half-day blocks.
