Youth and Environment Europe plans to organize a training course focusing on methods of environmental education in relation with sustainable lifestyle. We would like to put special focus on volunteering in environmental organizations as a good practice to gain experience in environmental education and to make impact on different target groups. Further on we would like to share opinions and visions on whether and how the environmental educational activities could help young people in finding occupation in times of crisis.

The aim of the TC is to train young people in methods of environmental non-formal education in order to become efficient promoters of sustainability issues.

Objectives of the TC are:

• to discuss the curriculum of an environmental educator
• to discuss the situation of environmental education in different countries and its potential in employment of young people
• to introduce and exchange various educational methods fitting to promotion of environmental/sustainability issues
• to discuss the benefits of voluntary work for the society, local communities

If you would like to become a partner to this project and develop it with us into a wonderful event, please let us know latest by 25th March via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
