Training Course
11-16 April 2024 | Kaunas district, Lithuania
The context:
According to the UN, youth is one of the key stakeholders of the UN Agenda 2030 – the Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainable development – development that meets the needs of the present without compromising those of the future – begins with respect for the future generation. Therefore, engaging and empowering youth to endeavour for a more sustainable future is important.
Our environment is constantly changing, and although some of these changes can be attributed to the Earth’s natural course, reliable scientific research proves that the vast majority of environmental changes result from human activity. Therefore, it is crucially important to help young people understand the effects of their personal actions on the environment and lead them to behavioural change that contributes to environmental sustainability.
About the training course:
Sustainable development is a comprehensive concept that seeks the balance between economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection. This training course is part of a series of 2 training courses that aim to empower participants working with youth to mainstream sustainability principles in their youth work activities. The two courses will have a specific focus on different dimensions of sustainability.
This training course will specifically focus on the environmental dimension of sustainability. Throughout the programme, we aim to empower participants to contribute actively to a more sustainable future by incorporating environmental considerations into their youth-oriented initiatives.

Global Citizens' Academy (name in the original language - VšĮ Pasaulio piliečių akademija) (Others)
Global Citizens’ Academy (GCA) was founded in 2014 with the aim of promoting active global citizenship and sustainability among young people in Lithuania and beyond. It is built on the fundamental values of social justice, solidarity, respect, responsibility for oneself, other people and the planet, open-mindedness, active participation, cooperation and belief in making a difference. The activities of GCA help to

(2) encourage youngsters to explore and understand the complexity of different global issues, e.g., poverty, inequality, climate change, etc.; (3) boost active participation of young people so that they contribute to the sustainable changes in the society by their own action.
