Project Summary

The premise of the project is the awareness that protecting the environment and conserving the resources of our planet represent a challenge that can no longer be avoided: today, the world is radically different choices that are different from those made in the past, far from the current production model.As is known, islands are particularly affected by environmental degradation and climate change, due to a more fragile ecosystem and geographical barriers that often lead to conditions of particular socio-economic vulnerability. For the island communities, therefore, “sustainability” and “resilience” are essential characteristics to combat the degradation of their territory and consequently depopulation, youth emigration, and the transformation of the territories into “tourism colonies” with important social consequences and environmental.In these contexts, we therefore consider the promotion of an environmental education that is configured as a continuous process of learning ways of living with a rapidly evolving nature due to climatic and economic factors to be particularly important.In addition, the lack of theoretical knowledge and practical experience of many youth organizations and operators with reference to the environmental education sector and the inadequacy of the most common approaches in this field limits the impact of their interventions.To increase the quality and impact of their projects on the environment and the communities in which they are integrated, organizations and operators active in the youth sector need continuous theoretical and practical updates in the field of environmental protection, which is in itself rapidly evolving.The project aims to improve the skills of partner organizations, their staff and youth and environmental operators active on the islands and in particular:• will strengthen the general knowledge and theoretical and practical skills of operators on environmental and sustainable development issues;• provide them with study bases to understand the specific context of the island and its weaknesses;• will indicate environmental monitoring strategies aimed at understanding the transformations of the territory and the critical issues;• will experiment with non-formal education methodologies useful for involving young people;• will increase the capacity of organizations to carry out actions and initiatives, the quality of the proposed activities, the impact on the territory and on the community, in the direction of greater sensitivity, information and aware behavior;• will identify practical tools to be applied in individual contexts in order to act autonomously and to be able to direct local policies towards environmental protection issues.• increase the capacity of organizations to collaborate with partners on an intercontinental level with reference to common theories and practices.
