*Youth Exchange : “Young GreEntrepreneurs”
Evora, Portugal

The coronavirus pandemic is a wake-up call to stop exceeding the planet’s limits. We
need to shift from industrial to more eco-friendly economy to reverse the climate
crisis. Doing so will enhance balance between economic growth and environmental
protection, will bring profit and create jobs, and improve wellbeing in both rural and
urban communities worldwide. The “Young GreEntrepreneurs” project aims at
supporting green entrepreneurial skills development among youngsters from
Portugal, Ireland, Georgia and Tunisia via exploring social entrepreneurial ideas,
which has a positive effect on the natural environment and at the same time is
financially sustainable.

Algeria, Turkey, Tunisia, Spain and UK.
Its aim is to train a group of young people to become an active group of youth
workers. The project is the fusion of the past, the present and the future. The profile
of the participants is youth workers who want to learn more about human rights and
activities related to them, to acquire the qualities of active youth work.

* Seminar : URBAN AGRICULTURE
STRASBOURG, France
13 -22 JULY 2022
The main objective of the project is to develop the key transversal competences (
knowledge,attitutes and aptitudes) of 44 youth workers and young leaders from
European, Medittereanean and Caucasian countries. The training aims at supporting
them on how to take initiative and start their own youth projects linked to the topic
of Urban Agriculture, by developing their personal and professional skills,enhancing
their active participation on the social level as responsible citizens. Hence, this
training would increase their employability and better their work quality.

*Local environmental project :CLEAN,CREATE,EDUCATE
This project involves 24 volunteers working for one month. They realize a project of
common interest and public utility. The volunteers are deeply involved in this project
by participating in the cleaning of the beaches,animating recycling workshops and
raising the public awareness by implementing dissemination actions.
* Capacity building in the field of youth :LEAR2VOLUNTEER(2021-2022)

E-learning is an efficient means for ensuring the volunteers to develop their
competences all along their ESC project. It is also a suitable way toget engaged into
a continuous and easy-to-achieve learning process in order to enhance their skills,
optimize their role within the host community, and find their career way.
Moreover, the e-learning can be an efficient tool to support mentors, trainers and
supervisors of the volunteers. For these reasons, in 2017, we created an online
platform (https://euromed.e-evs.eu/) which includes online trainings to support
European volunteers.
In this context, we organized and coordinated this CBY project to improve this
platform and continue to meet the needs of the future volunteers and the priorities
of European Solidarity Corps’ program.
We cooperated with our partners engaged in the ESC programme, coming from 5
EuroMed countries: Tunisia, Turkey, Jordan, Greece and Italy. Together we launched
a project based on our experience and made up of diverse & complementary
activities for 20 months, centred on the topic of on-line educational support for the
ESC volunteers.
The main objective of our project is to enhance the adoption of innovative practices
from youth workers related to European volunteers, by developing personalized,
collaborative and accessible learning approaches for all young beneficiaries of
European Solidarity Corps projects.
