The training course took place in Bělá u Jevíčka, Czech Republic, from September 16th to 22nd 2010 and involved 11 participants. During this training course Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) were made accessible to youth active in European NGOs. Participants shared and exchanged knowledge about environmental problems in their home countries and learned about related legislation. They specified criteria and gained skills that can be applied as part of EMSs in youth NGOs and their networks in order to measure the impact of their activities on the environment. Different methods based on non-formal and experiential learning, such as inter-active presentations, workshops, discussions, etc. were applied during the project.

Delegates were trained to act as multipliers who offer related events (such as training courses and information sessions) themselves, and thereby help to decrease the negative impact in their own NGOs as well as in other local organizations and companies using the initial project as an example. For that purpose possible future situations were simulated by role plays and a step-by-step approach was elaborated within the framework of individual action plans.
