EcoMap

EcoMap project „Road map of ecological practices in youth work in rural area and urban suburbs“ with contract N 2021-1-BG01-KA210-YOU-000033872 is implemented with the financial support of the Erasmus + Program, KA210-YOU – Small-scale partnerships in youth.

The project is in the context of the recommendations given in the „European Economic and Social Committee on the EU Strategy for Enhancing Environmental Skills and Competences for all“: „Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility. Sustainable ecological development requires radical social change, including individual and collective changes in our mentality, behavior, way of life, as well as in the social, political and economic organization of our countries and societies.“

EcoMap project aims to promote the understanding that environmental responsibility, green skills and sustainable development must be included in all areas within the learning outcomes (knowledge, skills, attitudes and values) of non-formal learning. In this regard, the EcoMap project focuses on „green skills“ in youth work and non-formal learning. The project will create opportunities for participating organizations and youth workers to implement new environmental practices and to support youth organizations from rural and suburban areas in their transition to green sustainability.
