Growing Sustainable Communities

With climate change and sustainability challenges affecting every aspect of society, young people increasingly experience eco-anxiety and uncertainty about their future. This project seeks to turn concern into action by providing youth workers and young people with tools, knowledge, and hands-on experiences that promote sustainability in a holistic way. The initiative recognizes the interconnection between environmental sustainability (green practices, sustainable gardening, eco-friendly construction), economic sustainability (developing green skills for employability and entrepreneurship), and social sustainability (fostering inclusion, particularly among marginalized youth, refugees, and migrants).
