The EVS Project “Sustainable Futures: Youth Taking Action in your Neighbourhood” will facilitate the stay of two volunteers from Poland and Slovenia from 1 January 2015 until 31 December 2015 with European Youth For Action in Berlin, Germany. The project aims to strengthen young peoples engagement as promoters of environmental justice and sustainable alternatives across Europe. In times where environmental groups have been decreasing both in number and in strength and governments seem unable to fully take on environmental challenges from a social justice perspective, the volunteers will explore and visualise sustainable alternatives; encourage active citizenship; and build a more inclusive European community; involving both Berlin and European-wide youth. Activities include supporting the coordination of two international gatherings on environmental justice and sustainable alternatives, running environmental workshops and discussions for local Berlin youth, gathering materials and field research in topics connected to sustainable environment and participating in non-hierarchical, consensus based office dynamics. The project working and learning method used will be popular education, a group facilitation technique and style of non-formal education used to raise consciousness and awareness of how individual experience relates to larger societal problems. In this model everyone teaches and everyone learns in a collective process of creating new knowledge. This means that it will speak to different learning styles by including a mix of discussions, workshops, team-building and hands-on activities along with structured informal time. This will encourage and empower active participation and acknowledge the importance of this input. In this project, volunteer selection will search two young persons facing economic and/or social obstacles, thereby facilitating youth with fewer opportunities to be proactive and involved in environmental policy. Project partners will give priority to young people exposed to any kind of discrimination (based on culture, origin, sexual orientation etc.) and/or facing unemployment or precarity. Volunteers will acquire new practical skills like fund-raising, project management, workshop presentation, consensus decision-making structures, open source computer use, German and/or English language skills and field research methods that will help to improve their economic opportunities. Also, this EVS experience will enable the volunteers to enact their ideas and make their own projects or campaigns happen after this project. The project will be beneficial to the local community by providing interesting and valuable informal education for Berlin's youth. In the long term, the project will extend EYFA's network and contribute to fostering young people's sense of European citizenship and their role in the present and future of Europe as promoters for environmental sustainability.
