We’re excited to share a new project “Sustainably yours”. Through a combination of social media campaigns, seminars, an eco-festival, and cooperation with decision-makers, this project aims to promote sustainability and eco-friendliness and encourage constructive community change. Encouraging youth to participate actively in environmental projects and fostering enduring communication between young people and important decision-makers are the objectives.
The project begins with the Eco Leaders Bootcamp – Youth Exchange in Lithuania, where 20 young people aged 15-18, representing the core team, will gather for a 6-day intensive experience. This event will provide them with the tools and knowledge to become eco-leaders, preparing them to engage their communities in environmental action
Besides the first activity – a mobility in Lithuania, the project has a lot to cover in the future!
With the help of different activites, the project hopes to have a big local impact in both Lithuania and Bulgaria, where more than 80 young people will gain knowledge about sustainability in informal settings. By giving these young people the confidence to voice their opinions and concerns, the project will increase the number of engaged and driven young people. Youth perspectives will continue to play a key role in the creation of regional environmental policy if decision-makers are engaged. More than 120 youth will have taken an active part in community sustainability projects by the project’s conclusion, and the impact will go beyond the events’ brief duration.
On a national level, the project aims to influence decision-makers and leaders, encouraging them to consider youth perspectives in policy changes and environmental initiatives. By disseminating the project’s methods to at least 30 organizations, the project will ensure that its impact and lessons learned will inspire broader, long-term change across the region, helping to build a greener future.
