Designed specifically for VET centers,

this Manual offer a structured

approach to help educators introduce

students to green practices,

sustainability standards, and

environmental certifications.

The courses and activities proposed here have been designed to help educators introduce sustainability into vocational training in meaningful and accessible ways. Learners are invited to engage with green practices, sustainability standards, and environmental policies.

When the "Warming Schools" project first set out, it carried a bold but simple vision: to empower young people to become changemakers in their communities through

environmental education, practical skills, and a shared sense of purpose. This report tells the final chapter of that journey—the local youth campaigns—where ideas born in

classrooms and nurtured across borders came to life in streets, schools, and public spaces.

The Warming Schools “Bootcamp” activity involved 40 young

people from the 8 involved partner organizations. The activity

engaged them to become ambassadors of environmental

awareness and for green professional innovation.

In a common transnational mobility (Bootcamp), the young learners

discovered and put into practice sustainability concepts, further

developed green skills and attitudes and together worked on

methods to act in their communities through social and digital

campaigns.

Handbook with creative methods, ideas and instructions for working with groups on the topic of sustainability.

An online course for youth workers to learn: - how to approach a group of youth with fewer opportunities, - how to involve them, to create their own volunteering project to help a community in need, - how to train, coach, mentor and support them.

Besides our learnings, we also share the resources and approaches we have learned from within or outside of the field of youth work. More concretely, you will have a short glimpse into: 

• Experiential education

Entrepreneurial skills are not only useful for those who actually want to start a large business, but can encourage people to find creative solutions, identify opportunities, and learn to take calculated risks.
