Green Competences for Sustainable Youth Work

The project Green Competences for Sustainable Youth Work (GCS) aims to strengthen the environmental competences of young people and youth workers in Germany, Italy, Slovakia and Spain through non-formal education and blended learning, raise awareness of sustainability, support behavioural change and enable sustainable European cooperation.


Project objectives:


  • Establishing a Green Media Hub as a central resource for environmental tools and content.
  • Producing youth-led digital content (podcasts, videos, TikToks) for education and awareness-raising.
  • Promoting behavioural change in line with the EU Green Deal.
  • Organising local events, Green Talks and a Green Action Festival to engage the community.
  • Ensuring the sustainability of resources and green practices beyond the project period.

Partnership objectives:

  • Exchange of best practices and methods in non-formal education for green competences.
  • Promoting networks and synergies between youth organisations in different countries.
  • Supporting the transferability of tools and guides to other young people and educators.
  • Increasing the visibility and impact of the project in Europe, with the aim of reaching more than 600 participants.
