Our Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is to increase the knowledge and understanding of young people between the ages of 15-25 in common countries on ecological issues. In order to achieve this goal, the project will focus on the following special objectives:

1. Providing resources and support to youth employees to help them integrate ecological literacy into their studies. This will include continuous support to youth employees while applying training workshops and these materials in their classes as well as the development and distribution of training materials.

2. To encourage sustainable behavior and attitudes among young people. This will be provided through experienced opportunities such as field trips and other practical activities that allow young people to learn and establish relationships with local ecological systems.

3. Supporting the development of innovative, interdisciplinary teaching approaches that integrate into ecological literacy studies. This will include working with youth employees to design and implement project -based learning activities that focus on ecological literacy and contain elements from multiple subject areas.

Expected results:

1. Young people will show the increasing knowledge and understanding of ecological issues, as measured through surveys and focus group discussions before and after the evaluation.

2. Young people will participate in sustainable behaviors, as measured by observing the data and behavioral changes they have reported.

3. Youth employees will develop and implement innovative, interdisciplinary teaching approaches that integrate into the ecological literacy studies.

4. The project will contribute to a better understanding of the impact of this learning on sustainable behavior and attitudes as well as the effectiveness of different approaches to promote ecological literacy among young people.
