Sustainability, transition and resilience
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The proposed project aims to provide concrete competencies, skills and expertise to youth workers in order to act as multipliers and sustainability agents for their localities. Since mainstream and formal education are not structured to provide the skills and competencies needed to tackle modern challenges in a crisis context, the proposed project aims to create and strengthen training paths and resources based on real-life applications for resilience, sustainability and self-sufficiency. The partnership has the concrete objective of providing open knowledge, skills and competencies for positive change in the personal lives of participants (regarding coverage of basic needs, entrepreneurship and employment), as a response to the multi-dimensional crises Europe is facing. The proposed youth worker mobility (10-day training course) has been developed with the main intent to encourage the active engagement of youth workers in sustainability transition initiatives, to exchange experiences concerning the promotion of local sustainability in European countries and to provide competencies and skills to youth workers to actively engage in the their local context and the employment marketThe proposed youth worker mobility will provide the opportunity to 36 youth workers and trainers from 6 different countries to become familiar with concepts such as sustainability, self-sufficiency, transition and resilience, at both theoretical and practical levels. In the course of 10 days (excluding travel), participants will jointly carry out a programme of mixed activities (participatory seminars, practical workshops, exercises, debates, role plays, simulations, outdoor activities, public events, etc) that will enhance their skills and competencies and will allow them to experience a multicultural simulation of living in an ecological community. The youth worker mobility will focus on non-formal experiential training (learning by doing), co-creation of DIY convivial/ frugal technologies and networking, while it will provide useful skills for employability enhancement and community engagement. Topics to be addressed during the training course include energy autonomy using renewable sources, natural housing, waste management, food self-sufficiency, agro-ecology, health self-management, participatory decision making, and cooperative entrepreneurship. The activity will be hosted in the premises of the STAGONES Sustainability Academy (www.stagones.org) in Vlachia Evia, which is comprised of two 1.5 acre plots and a variety of hosting and training infrastructure constructed solely with natural material. The activity will host very experienced trainers from 4 of the most active sustainability transition/ self-resilience collectives in Greece, namely Stagones, Nea Guinea, iliosporoi network and UFiT, as well as youth work trainers from the other project partners. The youth worker mobility -Sustainability, Transition and Resilience Training Course- will be realized during 10-19 September 2016.
