ABOUT THE TRAINING
The impending financial crisis, the collapse of the world economy due to the pandemic of COVID19, the climate crisis,… We have all heard about this. More and more people realize that the word that we know it should be “reinvented”. The idea of DeGrowth recognizes that the economic model that is promoted now as a point of discussion on ,unrestricted and continuous growth, degradations the environment and enormous inequalities between rich and poor. We are convinced that it is the young people who can become the generation that will introduce changes in thinking about the economy, development, and society. The question that arises, thus, is – how do young people, in the mass of information, including fakenews, crammed into the traditional model of teaching, can think beyond the imposed definitions – “out of the box”?
For this to happen – we must prepare youth workers to be able to work with young people on issues related to system solutions, advocacy and conducting debates, and at the same time having a basic knowledge of the concept of alternative forms of economic development and climate crisis. Furthermore, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many non-governmental organizations had to reorganize their work and this online method of working with youth has been introduced. Therefore, an additional element of the training will be the ability to use online tools to conduct training and other activities in the field of youth work, i.e. competencies regarding work with young people in the digital space. An essential part of the training program is the creation and running of a webinar through participants – it will not only be an important element of disseminating knowledge, but also a very practical dimension of the event and the implementation of one of the main principles of non-formal education, which is learning by doing.
Aims of the training:
1- Conducting training of youth workers in the field of:
- Encouraging young people to reflect on European issues, including economic and climate issues;
- Challenging views that perpetuate inequality or discrimination;
- Respect for cultural diversity
- Conducting advocacy activities
2-Development of knowledge of youth workers participating in the project in the field of
models of economic development methods and tools to combat the climate crisis
3-Development of digital skills and remote work with young people
4-Disseminating the results of the project in the form of 8 webinars (one in each country).

AFTER THE TRAINING
This is extremely important for us that participants from each country will share gained knowledge.
