Youth Green Deal will be a training will bring together 22 participants from 8 different countries who will deepen their knowledge about eco-volunteering (or setting up international voluntary service projects combining study sessions on environmental issues and practical hands-on work) and practice their skills to be a group leader in an eco-volunteering project.

Some of the participants will accompany a group of young volunteers who will take part in the planned youth exchanges over summer and others will conduct some workshops in their own organisation on the topics dealt with in the training.

Participation

Workcamps and youth exchanges focusing on eco-volunteering are central in this project. This training will focus on the knowledge, skills and attitudes that youth leaders in this kind of activities need. The training will use non formal education methods and experiential learning which is based on reflection 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 Tunisia 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!
