YEU Cyprus is happy to announce our Youth Exchange “Green is a new black. Sustainability as a living paradigm”, which will take place in village of Pedoulas in Cyprus, from the 23rd-29th of October, 2022
Even though young people are aware about climate change, the lack of knowledge on how important sustainability is are evident. There is a need for more knowledge, instruments and practices on how to deal with these issues on a personal level. Many young people would like to make sustainability a leading principle of life, and for that we need systematic knowledge, skills, and habits to support sustainability. Through this youth exchange we want to explore deeply the topic of sustainability and try to apply it to our lives. Moreover, we are looking for real practices of fighting climate change, being more inclusive and knowing how we can contribute to the UN SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals).
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
1) To learn about sustainability, as principles of ecology, economy and equity, on a practical level.
2) To discover together with participants effective ways to contribute to the UN SDG’s on a daily basis.
3) To gain experience, knowledge and habits of being sustainable and integrate them in our lives practice as is the CO2 footprint compensation.
4) To produce materials and implement projects that raise awareness about practical sustainability.
5) To enhance participant’s awareness about inclusion, diversity, and cultural differences.
