To be able to respect the environment it is neccessary to know it and to live it, in a way of admiring its beauty, importance and its value in vary points of view. Even just doing an activity outside, taking a walk or being taught by the experts on the environment awareness could raise our sensibility and our desire to become more active. In addition adapting a behaviour which is respectful to the environment is helping your health. To convince people to adopt this kind of lifestyle it is neccessary to emphasise this benefit. Eventually we realised that the society we live in (paricularly our local community) is not much sensible to the environment issues, eventhough all of us are involved and responsible for the future of our planet. However we, the youth, should realise our responsibility because it is us who inherits this planet and that is why we should solve the problems in a long-term. Therefore our role consist of two approaches: We will change our everyday habits to be more eco-friendly and make people aware of the environment problems. Because our biggest mistake would be just awaiting, not acting, not taking one´s responsibility of the own social role. Therefore the Helios project is structured as a path on which the participants learn in a non formal way. They face the environmental challenges and confront with the relationship which binds their everyday life with the environment. This learning path will help the participants develop an awareness of the topic in a way that they will feel supported and stimulated in everyday life to act its way. This project aims to create instruments for the participants to become more active on a local level as well as on the european one, in a way that they will be able to fully understand their social role. The project is especially aimed at supporting the active citizenship of the youth in general and their european citizenship in particular but also to foster the mutual understanding of the youth coming from different states. The participants express their own opinion and reflect their own nation and culture through meetings, games, group workings debates and intercultural events. Helios is also promoting the european cooperation through participants working on campaigns of awareness and projects of cooperation between their mother institutions. As a consequence this project is focused on the partecipation of the youth. Furthermore Helios intends to promote an environmental-friendly healthy lifestyle of the youth. According to the goals we adopted, Helios will have a strong ipact on the personal sphere of each participant. The activities will allow the confrontation of the green topics, which are of common interest. The experience will give the participants the incentive to behave with bigger respect to the environment and to spread this message. The impact of the project will be great also at the local level thanks to the public events and to the involvement of local authorities. On the international level Helios will promote the european awareness and citizenship at various levels. The goal of the project is to reflect how different lifestyles can protect or harm the environment. We want to stimulate a green awareness, critic and responsible to reflect our habits and ideas, to talk about problems of today, to have ideals, to understand european policies, to speak about our lifestyles and to observe the everydaylife of the other people. The 25 youth participants will be 18-25 years old. Every partner will send 5 young people plus one group leader. In each group there will be present also disadvantaged young people.
