Green Connections - A Network for Future

Green Connections: A Network for Future is an Erasmus+ training course focused on youth engagement and mobilization for climate action and nature protection and for cooperation in future green projects. 

The training is meant to share our experience and successful tools to other european youth workers, making them able to emmulate the youth involvement projects we developed in our town in their own communities. To teach green skills and the basics of ecology, climate action and nature restoration to youth workers capable of engaging new youth in their environmental actions.

During 7 days, youth workers from countries all around europe will join in the town of Chaves, in the northern hill region of Portugal, a rural and isolated area of the country well known for its pristine and natural environment.

With a participatory, learn by doing approach, the training will explore ways to mobilize young people into action, develop common intervention ideas and gather ecology knowledge. With the leadership of our local team of trainers, participants will share methods, practives, experiences and the reality of their countries and communities.

They will learn what we do in our town, build tools for civic engagement, Community development and environmental education, and develop ideas for future cooperation and for the development of a green network capable of uniting our youth efforts and create an impact at the local and international level.
