Training Course: iECO-OIKOS: Sustainable Options 21/05/015

Training Course

13-23 July 2015 | Bitonto/Molfetta, Italy
This Training Course aims to enhance youth worker's competences to empower young people to take active participation in the change towards a more sustainable society.

"Eco-Oikos: Sustainable Options" is a 10 days Training Course, where 27 youth workers, from 9 countries, will have the opportunity to explore the idea of sustainable development.

Based on the values of Democracy, Participation, Active citizenship, Ethics and Empowerment, this initiative offers a new approach to these issues, through the direct involvement of participants: in fact they are the protagonists of the entire design process, creating opportunities to meet and debate, aiming a sustainable development and focused on good practices.

The sessions will be non-formal and experiential, with space for feedback and evaluation, with a session for reflection each day.

The path of the project will be an opportunity to make choices and make decisions. The attention of young people for so urgent problems can make it turn it into a mission not only at the national and international level but worldwide. The possibility that each youngster has to give strength and contribution to the improvement of a situation that currently appears stagnant, making active participants and protagonists of the present and future generations it's an important role.

The primary aim of this course is to enhance youth worker's competences to empower young people to take active participation in the change towards a more sustainable society. We hope to contribute to build a SUSTAINABLE LIVING between citizens and the environment and a future in which ECOLOGY is no longer an emergency but a way of life and where ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION no longer a series of concepts to be transmitted but the concrete daily practices.
