The participants are skilled in IT systems, one is qualified journalist, all are interested in the environment and sustainability. Non-formal and formal learning will be in evidence throughout the project, YouthPass will be achieved by all volunteers, who will use the YouthPass methodology to assess their progress and achievements during their EVS. Each volunteer will have a Mentor and work supervisors. They will work closely with the GEAI team, which is international, and the work environment is English-speaking. The aims of the Good Energies project are: a) To support the GEAI campaign for prohibition of unconventional shale gas (fracking) in Ireland and, in the context of the global Climate Change crisis, to support the campaign for the implementation of local, national and global policies to develop a carbon neutral world by 2050. b) To support the local community and youth in their social and cultural awareness, development and activities.
