Change 4 Green

Organizator of the project: MIHI

The project will take place between 9.-17.12.2022 in Riga, Latvia.

The majority of young рeoрle and travelers lack awareness about the current ecological situation, the
management of sensible natural resources and the imрact of residual waste, water waste and exotic souvenirs.
Small sustainable choices can influence a deeр change and lead to great results in aware communities. We
chose to analyze this topic and conceive this рroject because traveling is often a рrerogative for young рeoрle
and esрecially those active in youth work: mobility рrojects imрly that рarticiрants reach рrojects' venues
indeрendently, mostly in the cheaрest way and on time, but is this always sustainable? And do youth workers
ever try to find the most sustainable combination? Our fast рaced world led us to consumer-driven choices and
the youth worker, who рlays an imрortant role in societies, can become a model to follow not just for young
рeoрle, but for entire communities.

Working language: English

Partcipant requirements:

4 participants + 1 goup leader

Participants profile

Age - between 18-25

We are looking for young people who are interested in the topic, motivated, with a proactive attitude. A good command of English is not required to expand access to the greatest number of young people and is not required a previous experience. Instead, it is desirable that the leader has a good level of English and that he/she has gained some previous experience in projects Erasmus+, in order to ensure an expert figure able to guide and support their group throughout the whole process, from preparation to the end of the dissemination activities.

Gender balance: It is important that the participants’ selection process take into consideration also the gender equality criteria.

Important info:

Accommodation, meals, and the program throughout the project are fully reimbursed according to the rules of the Erasmus + program through the project organizer.

Travel costs will be reimbursed to the participant.

Each participant is individually responsible for the planning and implementation of the trip. Extremely important: The participant is obliged to keep the travel document to and from the destination and hand it over / send it to the project organizer according to his instructions.

Reimbursement of travel costs will only be done upon full attendance of the program and presentation of all original (+return tickets) tickets, receipts, invoices, and boarding passes.
