"<< Background >>Europe needs to transform its society into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy based on sustainability and turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities, making this transition fair and inclusive for all. The environment and climate action are key priorities for the European Union and, as underlined in the European Green Deal, ""the involvement and engagement of citizens and all stakeholders is crucial for success"". ""We must start taking responsibility for our actions and our impact on the lives of future generations. Being sustainable is not a choice, it is an obligation"". (EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027). In fact, ""achieving a society in which all young people are environmentally active, educated and able to make a difference in their everyday lives is the European Youth Goal number 10. For that, we need:-Young people are aware of the importance and impact of their actions on the environment;-Youth professionals are trained and have the necessary resources and tools to train young people and act as agents of change for environmental and sustainable development;-Young people take the lead and contribute, in the first person, to positive change in society.With percentages above 90%, young people say they are concerned about the environment (UNEP, GlobeScan Survey and INE), but this is not reflected in environmentally responsible behaviour (Alvarez and Vega) and 73% say they need more information to prevent climate change (UNEP). At the same time, many environmental education activities have been focused exclusively on environmental or ecological issues, without promoting the understanding of the causes of the problems, the reflection, the critical thinking, without encouraging the protagonism of the learner and his or her capacity for reflection-action.At this critical moment for our society, education and training opportunities, especially those focused on sense of initiative and entrepreneurship are, more than ever, essential to ensure a rapid recovery from the crisis resulting from Covid-19. Young people must be educated and empowered to create and implement their own projects, activities and/or initiatives based on sustainability and environmental awareness.Therefore, organisations from four European countries (Italy, Lithuania, Norway and Spain), we have decided to apply for this project, called ""Entrepreneurial Environmental Education"" (3xE).<< Objectives >>The main aim of this project is to strengthen environmental awareness and promote sustainability in the activities carried out by young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, in order to build a fairer, healthier and more environmentally friendly society.The main objectives of this project are:-To improve the key competences of participants and youth workers to develop actions that contribute to promote environmental education and sustainability;-To develop higher quality youth activities and/or projects with young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, in the fields of social entrepreneurship and environmental education;-To create new educational tools to strengthen sustainability and environmental awareness in young people who want to carry out their own initiatives, activities and/or projects;-To exchange experiences, good practices and methodologies on environmental education, sustainability and entrepreneurship in the youth field, between organisations and professionals from four European countries;-To create an international network of organisations, active in the youth field, working to promote environmental education and sustainability applied to youth entrepreneurship, in order to promote cooperation and innovation among Programme Countries.<< Implementation >>The project will last 24 months, starting on 15 January 2022 and ending on 15 January 2024. The set of activities of this project is intended as a ""methodological sequence"" and its extension and complexity requires work with adapted methods, tools and supports.The main activities that we consider important to mention here are:-Coordination meeting in Malaga (Spain);-Analysis of the situation of environmental education in each country;-Identification and selection of good practices and existing educational tools for environmental education;-Identification, selection and mapping of stakeholders;-Meeting between coordinators and experts in Trondheim (Norway);-Comparative analysis of environmental educational tools;-Meetings with relevant stakeholders and with young people in each country;-Assessment of learning needs adapted to the situation;-Study visit in Kaunas (Lithuania) for three youth professionals per partner organisation;-Study Visit in Malaga (Spain) for three youth professionals per partner organisation;-Meetings and exchange of experiences with stakeholders, young people and other professionals in the field of youth in each organisation;-Design and creation of a practical guide with tools for strengthening environmental education applied to youth entrepreneurship.-Workshops at local level with young people on environmental awareness and environmental education;-Design and creation of educational videos aimed at young people with tools, resources and things to take into account when starting up their own initiatives, activities and/or projects;-Creation of an eBook where the activities carried out, the experience of the organisations and participants and the visual resources will be compiled;-Editing and production of a summary video;-Four multiplier events (one in each country) to officially present the main products created in the framework of this project (guide and videos);-Final evaluation meeting between partner organisations in Marsciano (Italy).<< Results >>This project will have an impact on the participants (new competences acquired and/or improved, personal and professional development, etc.), on the organisations (use of the new competences and tools, exchange of good practices, creation of new products, better quality and efficiency of work, etc.), and on society in general (new tools to face the challenges of today's society, increased awareness of the importance of sustainability and the active role of each person, increased knowledge about environmental education, etc.).One of the main impacts will be on the direct participants, as we want to equip them with competences that will lead to their personal and professional development. On the one hand, we have young people with awareness and environmentally responsible and sustainable attitudes, who integrate them in their initiatives, activities and/or projects. Young people with a sense of initiative who can develop autonomously and proactively in a dynamic environment.On the other hand, we have professionals in the youth field who will be able to reinforce their knowledge and competences, investigating how similar topics are worked on in different contexts and how to work more effectively and successfully with young people and, above all, with those young people who are at risk in order to support, advise and follow them in their development and inclusion process, implementing projects, activities and/or initiatives with environmental awareness. Furthermore, they will improve their social and civic, cultural and linguistic competences, with special emphasis on European awareness, interculturality, tolerance, mutual respect, collaboration, active participation and inclusion.Regarding the main tangible results that will be created during the project and that we think it is important to mention here are:-Practical guide for youth professionals on environmental education applied to youth entrepreneurship;-Educational videos (pills) for young people;-Comparative analysis of environmental education programmes and tools for young people;-eBook where the activities carried out, the experience of the organisations and participants and the visual resources of the project will be compiled;-Video summary/documentary of the project;-Website;-Reports and other learning, training and informative materials created."
