About the project:

The Sustainable NGOs project aims to raise awareness of climate change and environmental challenges in line with European and global strategic documents in the youth sector, empower the youth sector for the green transition and to start working in a more sustainable way, improve the green competences of young people, youth workers and leaders and help them change their habits and behaviors, so that they will become actors of change both inside and outside the youth organization.

There will be participants from Slovenia and Spain.

GEYC’s background:

Sustainability is one of GEYC’s main objectives. We promote projects in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as our commitment is directed towards raising awareness, promoting and working on: Climate justice; Solidarity with a focus on social inclusion, minorities, migrants and refugees; Gender equality; Health and wellbeing; Partnerships for sustainability. Find out more...

Objectives:

The sessions will therefore first elaborate on what sustainability is, why changes in the way we address and dispel myths about climate change, and then turn to the principles of sustainability and how to make the most of them in one’s work as an NGO.

The training components (online modules and bootcamp) will thus be complementary to guidelines for sustainable organizational action, and youth workers and young people will be able to participate in the planning process and implementation better. The innovation of our project lies in the holistic approach to sustainability in youth NGOs and the development of tools for acquiring green competences and achieving sustainability in the functioning of organisations.

Sustainability policy:

In line with the green policies of the European Union and of the European youth programmes, we adopted a sustainability policy that proposes the following measures:

🌳 Luggage allowed:

- when travelling by train, try to opt for a small luggage. Minimize the number of clothing items and accessories you bring with you.

🌳 Choosing the itinerary: For this project the preference will be given to travelling as green as possible, thus no flights can be booked. When choosing the train, complement it by ground public connections (buses, ferries, etc.). Plan your itinerary to include ground public transportation connections, such as buses, trams, or ferries, to reduce the reliance on private cars or taxis.

Green travel is defined as the travel that uses low-emissions means of transport for the main part of the travel, such as bus, train or car-pooling. In order for an itinerary to be considered as being done on a green travel policy, at least 50% of the itinerary length has to be done with low-emissions means of transport (train, bus, ferry, rideshare, bike etc.).
