Project Summary

The aim of the project is to strengthen cooperation within the Three Seas Initiative for climate, environment, sustainable development and the European Green Deal. Building a strong partnership of organizations and institutions for the climate will contribute to increasing the Initiative’s potential by increasing social capital within participating organizations, associate partners and third parties that will be affected by the project through dissemination events and a social campaign. The project also aims to increase the role of young people in the public debate by basing the main result of the project, the Green Three Seas Strategy for Young People, on the recommendations of young people. We will raise the competences of young people, thus increasing their employability in the changing reality of the Green Deal. The preparation, implementation and popularization of the “Green Labor Market – Green Competences” workshops, which will become an integral part of the local activities of our organizations, will implement our goal in the field of sectoral priorities:

Promoting active citizenship, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship of young people, and Empowering young people for employment. Conducting such workshops in the areas of activity of our organizations – industrial areas, will have tangible effects in the form of supporting young people in making career path choices, by educating and raising environmental awareness and related knowledge about the effects of climate change, as well as the effects of activities aimed at their retention on the economy and the labor market.

Target Groups

Young people living in the industrial areas of the Trilateral countries are the target group of our project.

To meet their needs for acquiring competencies and knowledge that will increase their chances of employment in the changing economic reality, we will prepare a workshop program to educate young people about the challenges, threats and opportunities of the Green Deal, develop their soft and green competencies, and support them in planning their career path.

Project Activities

Activities of international partners will take place in two areas. In the first place, it is a workshop work with the use of non-formal education methods conducted with the use of modern digital means of distance communication. This method will be used to carry out activities aimed at developing the results of the project. At the same time, 10 stationary international meetings will be held, which will aim to get to know each other better, evaluate the activities on a current basis, manage the project and set project goals for the next stages As part of the project, we also plan to carry out a blended mobility activity, which aims to test workshops in the field of green competences and green jobs prepared earlier by young people. 20 participants from groups at risk of social exclusion will take part in the exchange. At the end of the project, we are planning a wide-ranging online social campaign and a series of 10 national dissemination meetings with decision-makers..
