Aim of the project is to promote ecotourism by various means of sustainability, thus promoting
sustainable lifestyle among youngsters. We want to achieve a higher level of awareness of the youngsters
regarding sustainable mindset thus encouraging them for sustainable lifestyle, behavior and habits in their
daily life.
We want to address the issues of negative cumulative impact of human behavior that environment is facing,
and promote sustainable practices among youngsters to minimize the negative effect on environment by
their own actions. In order to do so, we will raise awareness about various aspects of sustainability.
We will use the concepts of sustainability to develop new ecotourism products by participants. They will be
equipped with basic knowledge about planning and implementation of such activities. Thus we are
addressing the need to promote ecotourism as more sustainable approach to tourism in its wide varieties.
We are planning to implement different activities – non-formal education sessions, outdoor activities,
discussions, study visits.
The objectives of our YE are mainly:
- To promote sustainability as a set of ideas and approaches among youngsters,
- To raise awareness about ecotourism as an alternative to mass tourism,
- To equip participants with basic knowledge and skills to elaborate new ecotourism products,
- To create an innovative ecotourism product in local community,
- To promote Erasmus+ programme and Youthpass certificate.
