Erasmus+ Project
YOUTH WORK IN ECOLOGICAL CRISES
Introduction
This project aims to enhance the role of youth work in addressing ecological crises, particularly floods, by equipping youth workers with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools for effective disaster preparedness and community resilience. Through practical learning experiences and international cooperation, the project supports youth workers from marginalised backgrounds who work with communities most affected by climate-related disasters.
Aim of the project
The aim of the project is to build the capacity of youth workers and youth organisations to actively contribute to disaster preparedness, emergency response, and ecological crisis management within their communities.
-
To improve youth workers’ competencies in crisis management, ecological awareness, and disaster relief response.
To strengthen youth organisations’ ability to mobilise young people before, during, and after ecological crises.
To foster cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange among youth workers across Europe.
To integrate sustainable disaster resilience practices into everyday youth work.
To produce open-access resources, including a Best Practices Report and Training Toolkit, to support wider learning and long-term impact.
-
By the end of the project, participating youth workers will be able to:
Understand key principles of disaster preparedness, emergency response, and climate resilience.
Apply practical tools and methodologies to support young people during ecological crises.
Collaborate effectively with emergency responders, environmental organisations, and municipal authorities.
Facilitate youth-led initiatives and local resilience actions in their own communities.
Transfer their learning into organisational strategies, workshops, and future youth projects.
