Project Summary

Go Green project is a 24 months project coordinated by YUPI organization in Portugal, in close partnership with Romania, Thailand and Vietnam for a total number of 200 young people and youth workers in the 4 countries involved from Europe and Asia. We want to raise capacity of our organizations to support young people who have activities or starting business which are environmentally and community friendly and re-use resources in the scope of circular economy. We want to strengthen the support in youth work through the development of methodologies and procedures of each organization to better integrate and accompany young people who want to start any activity (volunteering or business) in the environmental sector, by raising their employability and entrepreneur skills aligned with an ecological perspective and in a sustainable way.Our main goal is to create an international network of partners interested in creating a system of training of youth workers that reflects the needs of the involved organizations based on non formal education methodology development, through a training referential on the topic that will be disseminated to external partners. This international network aims at raising the capacity of our organizations and others working in the social sector to be more effective and supportive to their youngsters that are in need of integration in the labor market but have many limitations and concerns due to the environmental degradation of nowadays and their lack of knowledge on how to build an environmental and social fair business.Go Green! is supported by previous experiences of partner organizations, built on past capacity building experiences, and foster more quality, diversity and deeper impact on the capacity of the organizations and social impact in the community.
