AEGEE-Europe participated in a Study Session in co-operation with Council of Europe’s Youth Department (YD).
The Study Session, entitled Regenerate (YOU)th: Cultivating Circular Economy Solutions in Youth Work, aimed to foster the quality development of youth work by enhancing youth workers’ competencies in circular economy and project management in order to create a sustainable project management model framework for youth organisations.
The Study Session provided the space to accomplish the following objectives:
- Increase 25 youth workers’ understanding of circular economy principles and their application within youth work, using non-formal education methods;
- Enhance 25 youth workers’ project management skills with an emphasis on sustainability;
- Equip 25 youth workers with a practical methodology rooted in design thinking that supports the conceptualization, planning and implementation of innovative youth projects that directly respond to societal needs;
- Develop a sustainable project management framework tailored to the needs and challenges of youth work, integrating circular economy principles and using a design thinking concept.
