Transitioning to a circular economy model brings significant opportunities for Europe and its citizens. This is an important part of the effort to modernise and transform Europe’s economy as we know it in a sustainable way of managing the economy.

That is the transition based on solid business logic that allows companies to achieve significant economic profit and increase their competitiveness in the market. In addition, such a management principle contributes to significant energy savings and environmental protection. Such jobs are then given a new look: they are becoming green jobs. It is generally believed that the first step towards a circular economy should be the adoption of new rhetoric, which includes the previously mentioned advantages of this economics model, the understanding that waste resources and that systematic changes are needed to achieve a sustainable economy and society.

And that is exactly what we are targeting with our project.

Project objectives:
- Raising competencies and skills of youth workers across 6 partner countries for the development, implementation, and evaluation of youth work activities and programs focused on ecology, sustainability, and circular economy to empower young people in local communities for development and creation of entrepreneurial opportunities in line with the principles of circular economy.
- Creation of multiplication workshops in 6 local communities with goal of youth workers sharing their new knowledge, skills and competencies with other interested youth workers, and young people.
- Raising capacities of partner organisations for development of new local community based activities and projects based on the youth work activities in fields of ecology, sustainability, and circular economy for empowering young people for development and creation of entrepreneurial opportunities.
- Introduction of non-formal learning methods and promotion of the Erasmus+ program through the introduction of new methods of work to participants, and discussing possibilities of skills and knowledge transfer by using different opportunities of the Erasmus+ program.
- Fostering future cooperation between partner organisations involved in the project – through sharing experiences and results from follow-up activities during the evaluation meeting.
