As explained in detail in the EU's long-term strategy 2020 and 2030, environment and climate change are directly related to people's quality of life. Sustainability of climates is important to ensure that future generations can use and benefit from natural resources. All countries should pay special attention to five sectors based on Green and Renewable Economy in the field of Environmental Literacy. These are; renewable energy, sustainable transportation, green construction, sustainable tourism and energy efficiency and management. It is very important for our world and our country to educate generations of entrepreneurs who think green for these sectors.The EU's 2030 strategy is a set of binding legislation to ensure that it achieves its climate and energy objectives. The EU's progress towards a low-carbon economy and the fulfillment of the commitments under the Paris Agreement will be ensured by green growth and green thinking generations.Our project contains innovative concepts and teaching/learning processes, primarily for young people and staff of the partner institutions, in the field of environment and climate. It will therefore have a strong scientific basis for the development of the latest applications in the field through innovation. Our aim is to raise green- thinking generations in our countries and to raise awareness in the field of environment -climate literacy. According to the results of the survey on the environmental problems we have done in our region, the most important problem experienced with regard to the environment and climate is the insensitivity of the new generation and lack of knowledge and vision about green entrepreneurship.Efforts to prevent environmental problems before they occur can only be realized by raising generations who can think green with environmental literacy. The environmental consciousness is a lifelong process that will turn into a systematic circle.For young people:1-To increase capacity in environmental literacy,2- Developing strategies about employment opportunities with green economy sectors and making them entrepreneurs3-To create opportunities for them to acquire and use integrated, basic, digital and language skills in their development.4-Strengthening critical thinking and creativity skillsFor the staff:1- Having experience and getteting knowledged about the strategies of the project2-EU awareness, cultural interaction3-Improving language proficiency and raising entrepreneurshipFor institutions:1-Improving the educational outcomes of young people at risk of failure due to lack of skills, trust and commitment2- To make the green point of view more effective for institutions by adopting best practices 3- Being a model institution for others on environment and climate issues4-Transnational cooperationOur partnership consists of 8 instutions 5 of which are from other EU countries and 3 of them are from our country. The participant candidates of our project are young people and staff in our institutions. Within the scope of the project, there are 5 LTTs, 3 TPMs, 4 intellectual outputs and 5 multiplier effects. Methodology:In all partner institutions we will establish project teams and use the methodologies of presentation and demonstration, workshop, activity, note-taking, solution-focused workshop, observation review, question and answer under the supervision of experts in the field. As for the dissemination, all participants will be in constant communication via WhatsApp group and each partner will be responsible for disseminating the project. We will invite local media, local authorities, NGOs , universities, public institutions, regional schools and other stakeholders to the project activities. In addition to establishing our project website “www. ThinkingGreen.org / or .net” we will make use of other social networks such as Moodle, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and present the results and activities of our project to all partners and stakeholders involved in the project.As a result;Environmental degradation endangers the human future. One of the factors that will contribute to stop environmental degradation is green entrepreneurship. Green entrepreneurship has the potential to be a catalyst for positive change in both economic and environmental areas.Effects and long-term benefits;Participants will have the ability to develop transversal skills such as ICT and multilingualism, the adoption of environmental literacy and green entrepreneurship, EU citizenship, democracy, awareness of business disciplines , and the development of innovative learning environments .Energy security and green economic growth, which are one of the objectives of the EU 2020 and 2030 strategy, will only be possible with the generations of green entrepreneurs. The green thinking centers that we aim to develop with our project will contribute to making Turkey and Europe competitive in the field of green energy.

Reducing youth unemployment is one of the major challenges facing most governments in the world. Within the framework of potential efforts and strategies to boost employment and job creation for young people, entrepreneurship is increasingly accepted as an important means and a valuable additional strategy to create jobs and improve livelihoods and economic independence of young people. It is an innovative approach to integrating youth into today’s changing labor markets. Developing and encouraging youth entrepreneurship can:- Creating employment opportunities for self-employed youth as well as the other young people they employ;- Helping youth develop new skills and experiences that can then be applied to other challenges in life; - Promoting innovation and resilience in youth;- Capitalizing on the fact that young entrepreneurs may be particularly responsive to new economic opportunities and trends.How can we contribute to all this? We can educate young people to be better employees, but we should also invest in shaping their mindset, coupled with the skills and knowledge to be innovators and entrepreneurs. Developing the ability to recognize opportunity and giving young people the tools to capitalize on those opportunities empowers them to take ownership of their future in ways which directly link education to real-world success.The SSA team together with its partners created project, which had for aim to raise the capacities of organizations and youth workers to deliver better quality entrepreneurial education that tends to develop personal and professional skills and uptake knowledge in order to reduce youth unemployment through youth programs and projects using the produced materials and tools. Project activities:1. Coordination meeting2. 1st Training Course 2. 2nd Training Course3. Workshop4. Mid-term evaluation meeting5. Workshop6. Conference7. Local activities8. Final evaluation meetingThe implementation of the project resulted in the following results:Open educational resources in a form of learning website where we gather together 40 learning activities, reflected through questionnaire, tool or exercises which serves to improve our personal and professional skills, boost a sense of initiative and entrepreneurial mindset and develop business skills. All 40 learning activities, collected and developed during the implementation of activities, are translated on following languages: English, Serbian, Macedonian, Romanian, Slovenian, Croatian, France and Polish.Toolkit ''Three stages of success'' resents a new suite of mini-learning format resources for young people that support the acquisition of high-value labor market-oriented skills such as development of personal, professional and business skills.Each partner developed Local Initiative, introduce what role policy-makers, entrepreneurs, schools and NGOs can play in improving the entrepreneurship culture in Europe. It also have a plan of further steps or activities, which will be apply in their future work. 8 business plans prepared in advance during the activities and by the partner organizations, that intend to be applied for funding under the local and national funds.The project have directly impact and been most beneficial for participants and partner organization which got improved and new competences and mindset, but also concrete tools and practices for stimulating youth employability, addressing in that way youth unemployment in their local communities. The change which project in the long run is increase employment and employability of young people and generating new business ideas of young people with business mentors who are experienced entrepreneurs.

Skills development and improvement of professional qualifications represent a major public health and education challenge. Since the main psychiatric reforms, the reduction of hospital beds, and the development of neuroleptic drugs, patients and users are now able to live alone or with their relatives, far from psychiatric hospitals. They can expect an autonomous life made of social and professional activities, close to the life of any other citizen. The global action plan of the World Health Organization between 2013 and 2020 recommends “the empowerment of users”. The project is based on the improvement of professional practices of social workers who accompany vulnerable groups in their own professional integration. At European level, their qualifications must be adapted to the new economic climate.Besides technical knowledge, this audience must acquire psychosocial skills in order to access and maintain employment on the real labor market instead of being placed in sheltered workshops. Social workers usually haven’t received adequate training for professional integration of people with mental disorder. To adapt the training to the economical environment, we must take into consideration the reality that is faced by companies and create a close partnership with a strong network of managers and well-trained team leaders on the issue of mental health.Furthermore, for those professionals, currently there are not a traced path or guide of good practices in order to cope with an increasingly demanding labour market. The training cursus of social workers could become obsolete in the current labor market conditions, if a upgrading is not included in their training (initial or continuous training).Our project aims to improve qualifications, because the stakes are high for both users with mental disorder, and social structures, which support their employability. Today, the economic context and the labour market are strangled: there are strong challenge to bring closer users, socials workers and companies. Although the users have mental disorder, they are often graduated and qualified. They must have access to employment like any other citizens.The project is built on the expertise of network competent partners from five different countries: Romania, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and Belgium. It consists of psychosocial structures specialized in employment, of training centers in mental health issues and of research centers and universities, specialized in those matters.The general purposes of this project are:- Identify what has already been done in these five countries.- Analyze the needs of the triptych of the 150 major players “users, social workers and companies” to develop employability in the real labour market for people with mental disorder. - Build with all partners, validated skill reference, following the needs and analyses of each of the five country’s experts, social workers and team managers from various companies. - Create and develop five training seminars involving 15 participants per country. 75 professionals from 5 countries will have therefore benefited from the pilot training.- Make recommendations at a European level that could be transferable and accessible at a macro political level as well as at a micro structural level (training organizations, universities…). In a participatory approach, our project will produce methodological tools of scientific support to:- Analysis (interview grid, auditions and focus groups containing items and criteria for need assessment)- Development of a common referential training: founding and federative tools.- Development of tested training modules in the five countries: Goals, content, teaching methods, speakers, etc. - A negotiated participatory evaluation of the pilot trainings: working together on implementing quantitative and qualitative tools. Those tools will be downloaded from an Internet site for distance learning and remote information.To conclude, this innovative project attempts to measure the quality and set various benchmarks of the pilot trainings in each country in order to submit a recommendations report.Intended to inform the European Commission and the World Health Organization as well as the Ministries of Research, Educational and Public Health Authorities of each partner country, this report will ensure the sustainability of the project by implementing an European university degree which will respond to the training needs of social workers to develop employability for people with mental disorder.

As stated in the application, this project was created to better understand how hate narratives spread through traditional and social media, among other channels; and to design strategies to resist them. In the world of instant communication, we found the need to educate ourselves further as youth workers so we could create a fitting environment for our youth to be able to identify and act against hate narratives.Though we faced many challengues due to the COVID 19 pandemic, our work ethic, our flexibility and our experience with digital youth work allowed us to overcome the problems and create a meaningful and succesful project. We were able to meet all of our goals and a number of extra, high quality outcomes were produced within this projectThe objectives set for this projects were:-To improve the competences of youth workers on the topic of radicalisation, inclusion and empowerment-To promote empowerment of young people with fewer opportunities throughout carrying researches to create needs and interest based empowerment models for youth workers to practice related to hate narratives and radicalisation-To raise awareness on youth workers about hate narratives, radicalisation and empowerment and its implications in youth work-To create innovative empowerment models for the inclusion of young people and create educational material and theoretical framework on social, economical and cultural empowerment-To understand the challenges on inclusion in participating countries and address those challenges through upskilling youth workers on empowerment with the goal of combatting hate narrative and ability to make informed decisions-To qualify youth workers as multipliers and trainers in the field of youth to develop new empowerment models and implement trainings to empower the young peopleThe beneficiaries of this project have been both youth workers and young people. In this project we involved youth professionals and educators from youth organisations as well as formal and non formal education entities, moreover, due to the partner organisations profile, we were able to reach a large number of youth workers from a variety of fields: we've had participants with experience working with migrants, NEETS, refugees, minorities and youngsters with fewer opportunities.As the project developed, several actions and activities were planned and executed involving young people from our local communities. Since the pandemic we've observed a particularly worrying rise of hate speech, not only online (where it grew exponentially), but also in the traditional media, signalling how deep the hate narratives have implanted themselves in our day to day; and as a result of this, several actions were put in motion, such as the Let's Talk project, a dialogue based activity open to youngsters from all around the world interested in sharing opinions and ideas about intercultural awareness, mental health, communication an media, and more. This project was created as a space to allow youngsters to connect during the hardest months of the confinement and find common ground.Our digital magazine, Youth Work Today, our network for youth workers, the Education Umbrella Network; as well as our two Cross-Sectoral Transnational Exchange Projects CSTEPs (view results section in the Beneficiary Project Details page); are also examples of initiatives that have been heavily influenced by this project. We are now more aware than ever that, to be able to put up a fight against hate speech, we need to be able to learn from each other, focus on our similarities and have a space to share ideas and create common goals.Indirectly, we planned to reach the local communities of the partner organisations, as well as local media, institutions and entrepreneurs. Due to the pandemic, we weren't able to have a physical presence in each community, however, because we had to move our actions online, we took advantage of the possibility to widen our reach and allow our influence to move beyond our partnership and all across Europe.Through this project we've established meaningful and lasting relationships with other youth workers, we are now more aware of hate narratives and have a variety of tools, materials and experiences to withstand its growing tendency.
