YOUTH4SUSTAINABILITY

Activating Future Leaders of Community Sustainability in Europe (YOUTH4SUSTAINABILITY)
Project Overview
The Youth4Sustainability project, funded by the EU, is a 20-month small scale initiative designed to ignite a passion for sustainable development goals (SDGs) among youth. Running from January 2023 to September 2024, this project aims to equip young leaders from Denmark and Greece with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to champion sustainability within their communities.
Objectives and Impact
The project’s core objectives include:
- Promoting Deep Engagement: Facilitate value-based dialogues among youth on sustainability, empowering them to explore and express their views on SDGs and their role in achieving them.
- Developing Young Ambassadors: Mobilize and train a group of young ambassadors to lead and inspire sustainability actions within their schools and local communities.
- Community Action: Implement community-driven sustainability initiatives, highlighting the practical application of SDGs.
- Knowledge Sharing: Compile and disseminate learnings and insights through a narrative handbook, capturing the experiences and reflections of young participants and their contributions to community sustainability.
Key Activities
The project is structured around several key activities:
- Transnational Meetings: Facilitating cross-border collaboration and planning between project partners.
- Training Programs: Conducting comprehensive training sessions for young ambassadors, focusing on SDG awareness, project development, leadership, and community engagement.
- Community Actions: Executing local sustainability projects to demonstrate the SDGs in action and engage broader community participation.
- Narrative Handbook: Creating a resource to share the project’s stories and successes, serving as an inspiration and guide for future youth-led sustainability initiatives.
Target Audience
The project places a special emphasis on youth aged 14 to 16 years from Denmark and Greece. Alongside educators, these young individuals will form a dedicated team of ambassadors, tasked with spreading sustainability values and initiatives. These ambassadors will lead by example, reaching out to their peers and engaging entire communities in meaningful sustainability actions. This initiative is particularly keen on including marginalized youth, ensuring that our approach to sustainability education and community action is as diverse and inclusive as possible.
