Discover Sustainable Development
07/10/2013 - 14/10/2013
This will be an eight day (7-14 October 2013) residential training course, hosted at organic agro tourism farm, with the involvement of 24 participants from 8 countries. The main aim of the project is to promote Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) among youth workers in European countries, thus contributing to raising awareness of sustainable development issues among young people. Climate change makes sustainable development an urgent global priority. Achieving sustainable development is impossible without wide social awareness of the problem, including through education and youth work. This project provides a non-formal educational platform for youth workers to learn and gain competences in sustainable development work with young people locally and internationally. The course is centered around the concept of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as a practical tool of education for young people not only about the problems of climate change but also about possible solutions. The project will also promote local initiatives based on the principles of sustainability located around in the Lower Silesia region. The Project will be hosted in a mointainous area of Izera Mountains (Polish Góry Izerskie) in the South of Poland, near to boarder with Czech Republic. Participants will be lodged in a rural tourism farm called „Farma 69”, part of which is a medieval settelement, performing lifestyle and common occupation of villages inhabitants in the 13th century. The farm is a centre of ecology, traditional craftmanship and is well known for its devotion for organic farming and food production. We look for 3 motivated youngsters: available places left: 3 – Participation fee for each project is 30% of the travel costs, plus the annual membership fee 2013 (30€).
