ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The project’s objectives are to educate and inform young people and the local community about SDGs through the implementation of various workshops, public interventions and creative activities. Through our actions which they will be oriented around youth and based on non-formal education and experiential learning, we will not only present ways with which an individual, a group of young people or a community could act upon the achievement of SDGs but we will also encourage young people to become active citizens and find ways to engage democratically in the policy-making of sustainable development. We will emphasis e on the comprehension of the challenges we face both on a local and global level in order to empower youth to be more cognisant about the future of the local, European and International society which they live in and act upon their civil rights.
The project aims to encourage young people to learn and act upon current issues regarding society. One of our objectives is to promote education for sustainable development which is knowledge our volunteers will pass on when organizing different events for the society, engaging in solidarity activities and promoting volunteerism.
