Project description:
“Sustainable Green Future”is going to be a youth exchange organized in Garlstedt in Germany which will include 30 young people and 6 group leaders from 6 different European countries: Spain, North Macedonia, Romania, Greece, Czech Republic and Germany.
Sustainable, Green Future is a project that wants to raise awareness about environmental protection, sustainability and the role of the youth in it. The young people in Europe are not aware about the importance of environmental protection, or they don’t know what they can do to improve the situation.
Many young people are interested in learning how different communities are affected in many different ways by these issues, and how each of these communities react to said issues. We want to give the tools and improve competences of young people and to empower them to make a change in their local community and become active citizens.
