overview
Innovation that excites
The current project aims to promote knowledge, skills and eco-friendly attitudes among youth while also aiming to provide local youth community development and empowerment by supporting youth to take action, be pro-active and get involved in pushing for eco-friendly actions (like cleaning up affected areas) and behaviors (adopting reduce/reuse/recycle behaviors). The project will allow for youth leadership, foster social engagement while also helping the municipality and high schools bring the issue of environmentally friendly behaviors to the spotlight of public attention.
