General Idea:
The trainig course “Green Horizons” aims to bring together 28 youth workers from different European countries in the rural region of Galicia. During these days, we will create a non-formal education space where they can learn, exchange and develop innovative tools and methodologies to promote sustainability among young people.

Through a pedagogical approach based on experiential learning, group facilitation and socio-affective methodology, the training course will offer aunique opportunity to explore regenerative and sustainable solutions that address the climate crisis and rural depopulation, two crucial challenges for the present and future of rural areas in Europe.

Activities will include dynamics and workshops that combine theory with practice, designed to foster international networking, intercultural collaboration and personal development. In addition, key elements such as outdoor education and the use of local natural resources as living learning classrooms will be incorporated, creating a direct connection between participants and the Galician natural environment.

Participants will also have the opportunity to reflect and share experiences on how to implement sustainability projects in their respective local contexts.The training will not only be focus on knowledge acquisition, but also on the development of practical skills, so that participants can apply what they have learned in their communities and in their work with young people.

Participants will not only be better prepared to face current environmental and social challenges, but will also be part of an international youth network that will promote sustainability and rural development in the long term.

Objectives:
• Create a European network of youth workers on sustainability;
• Offer concrete tools to work on sustainability and diversity in the youth field;
• Develop and/or improve skills and capacities for cooperation, inclusion and tolerance of the participants;
