About the project
Youth Green Deal is a project aiming to build the capacity of youth organisations promoting volunteering in the Mediterranean area. In this project we focus on our work with local communities who are doing environmental work. So looking at how our volunteer projects can support environmental work: reducing the effects of climate change; inspire volunteers and local communities to mitigate climate change and lead sustainable lifestyles.
The training will bring together 20 participants from 8 different countries who will deepen their general knowledge about eco-volunteering and will learn to use tools (smartphone, camera, video camera) in order to collect visual (and audio) data during an eco-volunteering project/youth exchange later on. The participants will be trained to film, take pictures, tell a story through any kind of medium, create scenarios and a storyboard and edit videos.
After a general introduction to some techniques, the idea is for each participant to be able to create a short film with a smartphone at the end of the training. Some of the participants will participate or assist to the youth exchanges/eco-volunteering projects during the summer and will create shorts films to be presented at the Final Conference in Tunisia. The participants will also be introduced to Eco-volunteering, which will be the main topic of the short films.
Methodological approach
Workcamps and youth exchanges focusing on eco-volunteering are central in this project. Therefore the training will focus on the knowledge, skills and attitudes that people need to keep a visual trace of those activities, be able to share the experiences lived and tell inspiring stories. The training will use non formal education methods and experiential learning which is based on relection linked to practical experiences and/or learning by doing. An active participation of all participants is expected in the preparation phase, the face-to-face training in Belgium and the follow-up activities. The working language will be English. The facilitators will guide the process and accompany the participants in the learning process but it is up to all participants to bring in their expertise, to leave their comfort zone and to make the most out of this journey!
