Project Summary

“Small Touches for Our Planet”, (STOP), is the need to develop social awareness about climate change that threatens our future and to take responsibility for each individual. It is essential for our planet to start a total struggle from the individual to the whole.Therefore, we, KARGENC CLUB from Turkey, AVES from Togo, DISHA from India, AUDELE from Uruguay, and Hellas for Us from Greece, as from 5 different countries located on different continents, aim to contribute to the process by carrying out studies that will reduce individual carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.As for our project goals;-To create synergies by giving social messages about climate change,-To raise awareness about carbon and water footprints,-Discussing behaviours and practices that damage the cycle of nature,-To investigate and spread the effects of climate change on nature and ecosystem,-To research and exhibit the natural events of the last 20 years, directly related to climate change.Our project’s activities to achieve this determined goals:- Regional classification of the factors that cause the atmosphere to warm up, to produce training modules on the behavior patterns to be developed and the results that can be achieved (related to carbon, water, energy and recycling).-Training course: On the causes of climate change, methods of struggle and individual commitments.-Youth Exchange: Ways to combat climate change (includes trainings, seminars, verification activities, outdoor activities and workshops. 18-25 age range from each country)-Climate change seminar at the local of each partner (2 seminars per partner).-Social media campaigns-Creating a 5-volume climate guide (Climate and Gas Emission, Climate and Water, Climate and Energy, Climate and Recycling, Climate and Forest)-Website.We aim to have an impact on youth workers of partner organizations, young people participating in the project, partners and staff not participating in the project, supporters and related institutions, and young people, local community and indirect citizens of the country. With this project, youth workers can develop practical experience in social media campaigns and implementation, and will be aware of the causes of climate change. Young people can gain awareness of small details and individual responsibilites by examining the causes of climate. Supporters will be more conscious about climate events and have full knowledge of climate protection methods in mass media. All in all, the project may promote widespread climate activism in different continents.
