"<< Background >>GreenEnter4Future project combines two of the most important challenges in 2st century. Activate, involve youth in solving environmental issues, which have harmful effects of human activities as the next generation will basically design our future and the future of a whole planet and empower Youth Workers to help counter the dramatic increase of unemployment situations among young people – with the mission to generate educational value, green employment horizons for long-term capacity building, from the dynamic interaction between these two groups. As stated by the European Commission, social innovation is not something you do to citizens but with citizens.As EU citizens, we all have a duty to protect and improve the environment because it means living better. Numerous aspects of our daily life are directly related to the environment: children's asthma, floods, traffic congestion, the dream of a clean beach, etc. The environment and climate change is priority for the protection of the environment. Youth must be aware of the negative impacts climate change (DG CLIMA, EIONETsdg13_50) has for individual and community health as they are the generation who will suffer the greater consequences (Arjen Wals), thus they must have more say in environmental decisions and policies. Turning the spotlight on the growing urgency of the climate crisis was highlighted by Fridays for Future movement that took off, leading to an increasing number of young people around the world to participate with this intention. Fighting climate change is ""the challenge that will define our generation, a political and moral obligation"": (President of EU Commission) continues to reiterate the centrality of the environment in the action of his Executive.Therefore green growth is at the heart of EU policy to ensure that Europe’s economic growth is environmentally sustainable. EU, in the last 30 years has multiplied its initiatives: policies, regulations, controls, anti-pollution interventions, research on environmental innovations, awareness actions etc. Youth will primly benefit from entrepreneurial learning. Whether or not they go on to create green businesses, social or other enterprises, young people who benefit from entrepreneurial learning, develop business knowledge, essential skills including digital, green and attitudes including creativity, initiative, tenacity, teamwork, understanding of risk and a sense of responsibility. This is the entrepreneurial mind-set that helps entrepreneurs transform ideas into action.EU 2020 strategy for growth aims to create ""smart, sustainable and inclusive growth"", and have set clear objectives to guide European environment policy until 2020 and a vision beyond that, of where to be by 2050: protect, conserve and enhance the EU’s natural capital, turn the EU into a resource-efficient, green, and competitive low-carbon economy; and safeguard EU citizens from environment-related pressures and risks to health and wellbeing.Furthermore, environmental protection and innovation help to create new business and employment opportunities, which stimulate further investment. UN Environment Program for the green economy translates into ""an improvement in human beings and social equity, significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.Green startups represent the major driver of change, transformation of the global economy towards a more sustainable economic model. It is essential for young Europeans to understand the importance of active engagement in the protection of the environment, and that green business are an opportunity to find jobs and help make the world a better place.<< Objectives >>Becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050 is the greatest challenge and opportunity of our times. To achieve this, the EU Commission presented the EU Green Deal, the most ambitious package of measures that should enable European citizens and businesses to benefit from the sustainable green transition. The project aims to improve global environmental standards, stresses the need to empower youth workers who will then empower youth in eco-friendly entrepreneurship, fast track to transition in the green economy not only to restore after the pandemic but to provide new opportunities to the younger generations, with more collaborative business models. Green startups find their natural outlet in different sectors.Among the most receptive areas to start green startups we find the sustainable tourism, cultural and creative industries, urban revitalisation based on heritage, important economic sub-sectors capable of generating employment, stimulating local development, and promoting creativity. The new generation will be trained on the potential growth in green alternative tourism, innovation in agriculture and food chains. However, there is an untapped potential to take a path that can create other green jobs. Green companies need qualified personnel in order to expand their markets who very often fail to meet their demand.Climate change is here but not everyone can feel the impact yet. Youth workers turn to digital technologies to help youth better “experience” it. With our Green Online Game, youth will feel the impact of climate change with well-explained illustrated ways in order to be mobilised to fight the climate crisis. Youth workers will be trained to empower youth with green skills, eco friendly entrepreneurship as crucial factors for the development of cohesive, healthy societies.OBJECTIVES- Define sustainable development approaches providing training panorama for green business, circularity and employment opportunities;- Develop and share tools to empower youth with key green, new media, digital skills applied in green economy and development of youth entrepreneurial spirit;- Train youth workers to develop their professional competencies and to provide youth, eco friendly start-ups with specific knowledge in fast tracking green economy, reducing environmental risks and promote social equity;- To promote European climate legislation, for a cleaner energy generation;- To create synergy among stakeholders to restore youth's financial health and build eco friendly initiatives. TARGET GROUP:The project is addressed at strengthening and validating competences of youth, future start-uppers, young entrepreneurs, NEET, youth workers, trainers, experts, educators, staff, stakeholders (policymakers, green businesses, consumers) for environmental change, support investments and related growth.Around 300 unemployed youth and 100 youth workers will benefit of the project activities. The total number of people who are indirect beneficiariesis approximately of 1000, including the local and online community.<< Implementation >>The activities of the project are multidimensional and vital for creating ""smart, sustainable and inclusive growth"". They will introduce practical innovations in the area green economy with startups in sustainable tourism, cultural and creative industries and urban revitalisation based on heritage, important economic sub-sectors capable of generating employment, stimulating local development and promoting creativity.C1 ""Green Your Future"" training:-extremely EU demonstrated network with initiative plans for forming a transnational community of youth workers as an important infrastructure;-training on how to educate youth, NEET, develop activities for key skills applied to green economy;-a unique educative experience for participants to become familiar eco youth friendly approaches;-competence in using projects’ outputs;- exchange, share valuable experiences;-certification.Green Your Future training is addressed to Youth Workers and other professionals who work with and empower young people Green entrepreneurship dealing with the youth!The training activities will be delivered primarily by the experts/youth workers of the partner organisations who are experienced in green startups in sustainable tourism, cultural and creative industries and urban revitalisation based on heritage, important economic sub-sectors capable of generating employment, stimulating local development and promoting creativity.The training will define different sustainable development approaches for youth entrepreneurship, evaluate the level of knowledge and competence in the field, develop and share tools for the implementation of sustainable business models.
