EYE
Green Deal Challenges: The European Youth exchanges experience
EYE aims to engage young people and youth organisations in the ecological transition of the Green Deal through participation, learning, and concrete action. The project offers an innovative, challenging and engaging gamification approach to raise awareness among young people about the challenges of the Green Deal and encourages them to become actors in the ecological transition. The core of the project is a mega game implemented via parallel youths’ exchanges in several countries.
PROJEct objectives
- Raise awareness, educate and promote young people's commitment to the Green Deal through the development of knowledge, understanding and capacity for action (experiential learning) through real-life, concrete situations.
- Generate change through play, cooperation and collective intelligence, and propose new models not only for youth exchanges but also for European mobility in general.
- Raise awareness of climate issues and encourage people to adapt their daily behaviour accordingly. Promote the development of green skills and environmental intelligence.
- Foster a sense of European identity and a desire among young people to act as European citizens and participate in shaping the Europe of tomorrow at their own level.
- Adapt youth work to the challenges and expectations of young people and improve the skills of youth organisations and youth workers.
