The ACT project aims to develop quality materials for young people, teachers and youth workers that respond to the need to incorporate innovative methods in teaching about sustainability, circular economy and climate justice. The project aims to raise awareness among young people and encourage them to take steps towards active citizenship. In addition, it aims to provide youth workers and teachers with tools for engaging activities that help young people to create their own sustainability events.
The project partners will collect best practices by organising focus groups and conducting desk research. The best practices
will be used in further activities. The partners will create a handbook of sustainability events for young people as well as for teachers and youth workers. In addition, partners will create with the target groups a workshop model using gamification and organise workshops in their countries.
By the end of the project, an initial good practice report and two manuals will have been produced: one for young people and one for teachers and youth educators. Workshop models will also be created and implemented during the year 2024.
All materials and results of the project will be free for free use by youth workers, volunteers and educators, offering long-term benefits for the communities in which the project partners work, as well as spreading the results through their international networks.
