Description
The “Jovens pelo Planeta” project intends to implement in Portugal the concept of the Generation Earth program (https://www.generationearth.at/). Generation Earth is an initiative of WWF that started in Austria in 2010 as a program inspired by the AYEA (Alaska Youth for Environment Action - www.ayea.org). This project aims to: enable young people between the ages of 15 and 25 to develop actions related to environmental conservation in Portugal, giving them the knowledge, skills, contacts and motivations needed to bring their ideas to life. This program will provide tools and knowledge needed for decision-making (training and experience); stimulate the self-perception, self-confidence and self-reflection of the participants; promote peer-to-peer exchange and enable the development of environmental initiatives that increase public participation and awareness of sustainability and environmental issues.
