Environment: research and education for a sustainable development
Date du début: 15 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Environmental challenges and climate change are issues which will not affect just individual countries, but the whole human society in a global scale. There is a great need in Albania for awareness raising on climate change and a sustainable development and growth. As environmental challenges and climate change have become very important issues and are affecting our livelihoods, it is youth who will help change the situation and educate societies, as the future belongs to the youth. In this project, there is a need for understanding that in order to achieve sustainable development, green policies have to be implemented, and youth will be the ones who will be tomorrow's activists, employees, policy makers, and entrepreneurs. Thus, it is important to equip them with information and skills on how to lead their countries towards a sustainable development. The project aims to contribute to the reduction of youth unemployment and enlarge the Volunteer's opportunities to enter the increasingly tense and complex labour market; to encourage the inclusion of youth to be active citizens, involved in their communities and into a European and global environment; to increase the awareness and knowledge, and to introduce young people to topics as: environmental challenges, climate change, sustainable development, green jobs, renewable energy, resource efficiency; to promote healthy behaviors through outdoor activities. IEP will host 2 volunteers from every social background and origins willing to experiment non-formal learning in an international and multicultural dimension for 12 months. IEP is looking for volunteers between 20-30 years old with a good level of English, sense of initiative, flexibility and adaptability to work in a multicultural environment, interest in environmental issues and campaigns, good communication skills. The volunteers will be involved in the following types of activities: organizing indoors and outdoors non-formal activities and workshops (on recycling and up-cycling, sustainable lifestyle, photography, art, culture etc.); organizing informational campaigns in schools and youth centers; managing trainings and youth exchange of Youth in Action in Albania; helping IEP in its projects and activities; supporting IEP office work through updates on website and social network page, reports, blog; enhancing links and partnerships between IEP and other international NGOs. During projects volunteers will participate in several preparatory activities and trainings, both before their departure and upon their arrival in Albania. All the organisations and the Staff involved in the project will offer continuous support to the Volunteers throughout the whole duration of the project. The Volunteers' role and responsibilities will be discussed and defined through regular meetings and exchanges. The communication will be facilitate through the use of several tools as Skype meetings, weekly meetings and reports. Through the project, the participants are expected to improve their skills and capabilities such as self-empowerment and self-esteem, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, foreign language competences, inter-cultural awareness, more active participation in society; better awareness of the European project and the EU values; motivation for taking part in future education or training after the mobility period abroad. The participating organizations are expected to increase capacity to operate at EU/international level, improving management skills and internationalization strategies and cooperation with partners from other countries; developing innovative and improved way of operating towards their target groups and fostering a more modern, dynamic, committed and professional environment inside the organizations. The project is expected to increase the beneficiaries' awareness and knowledge on environmental issues, fostering youth active participation in policy making processes, enhancing awareness of the EU-funded projects and the related opportunities, promoting voluntarism among local youth people.
