„GREEN FOOTPRINT- youth skills for climate and environment literacy”
The GREEN FOOTPRINT – Youth Skills for Climate and Environment Literacy project brings together 5 partners in a strategic partnership:
- Fundacja Dzieła Kolpinga – POLAND (coordinator),
- Kolping International Association e.V. – GERMANY (partner),
- Bioeconomy Association of Latvia – LATVIA (partner),
- Fundacja Rozwoju Demokracji Lokalnej (Foundation for the Development of Local Democracy) – POLAND (partner),
- Kolpingwerk Südtirol – ITALY (partner).
The Erasmus+ project is a unique program that comprehensively supports international cooperation of non-governmental organizations and the exchange of non-formal education practices. We are implementing this project because we see the growing need for environmental education in our organizations and societies, and we recognize the necessity to create a new type of educational materials and develop a digital approach to youth social work. The project provides us with a unique opportunity to support staff development, prepare high-quality educational materials, build our capacity, and connect with our surroundings by organizing dissemination events.
The project utilizes the idea of education in the field of environmental protection and climate change among young people by using new IT educational materials (short films, virals) and promotes open and distance learning.
During the project implementation, we organized:
3 Project Partner Meetings:
TPM in Krakow, Poland, 02-05.02.2023
