Project Background
The Belgian climate scientist, Christian de Duve, has said that only the robbery and neglect of natural resources, which causes energy crises, climate change, pollution and habitat destruction, has guaranteed the success of our society. When our resources are exhausted, there is nothing left for our children. Climate change is not just about changing the weather. In reality, this is changing the way we live, because climate change can lead to economic, migration, flooding of island states or conflicts over natural resources, clean water or cultivated land. There is no dispute as to whether or not climate change will take place, but how important human intervention is.
The “One train ticket to the green(EST) sustainability” youth exchange brings together 35 participants from seven different countries to Järva County, to jointly understand the impact of climate change on our society, while sharing green experiences, proposing green solutions and allows for better environmental protection. Discussing a problem that speaks to us all in one way is the best way to break the project’s broader goal is to teach participants responsible citizenship, reduce social exclusion and raise awareness.
There will be seven activity days and seven countries. Each country will be assigned one activity day to facilitate. During that day, according to the aims and goals of the project, each national group has to facilitate the activities of the day (energizers, workshops, evening amusement). The groups are free to choose their own methodology for the activities. More info in the Info Pack.
