Training Course
2-11 December 2019 | Latvia
The world is facing global environmental crisis that has been growing in size since the industrial revolution. Each country and each individual is affected by climate change, for instance, by experiencing changing weather patterns, rising sea levels, and extreme weather phenomenon, but unconsciously people still daily contribute to pollution of our world. It is due to the fast and on the go lifestyle that people nowadays are living with excessive usage of plastic, more precisely, single-use plastic that is mainly used only for few minutes and then disposed of, resulting in an enormous problem.
This project aims to fill a gap, meaning, it aims to raise awareness about plastic pollution amongst youth workers and NGO's and starts introducing and developing new ideas and initiatives on how to raise awareness and actually make this swap from single-use plastic to more sustainable materials in one's daily life.
Usage of plastic shouldn't be a concern only in some selected youth work activities but all activities that are implemented by youth worker and NGO's in youth sector should embrace plastic less or plastic free approaches. Youth workers and involved partner organizations will take the role of multipliers in order to spread project outcomes.
The main activity of this project is the Training Course, which will take place in Sigulda, Latvia. This Training Course will gather 32 participants in total - 3 participants from each partner country: Croatia, Romania, UK, Estonia, Latvia, Greece, Spain, Turkey, Portugal and Italy.

KALM International Trainings (Youth NGO)
KALM International Trainings is a non-profit organization based in Latvia.
We are of the opinion that the more diverse you are, the easier it is to understand and learn anything in life, therefore, KALM is focusing to work with young people from different backgrounds, especially young people with fewer opportunities, in order to foster respect, social cohesion, moreover, active participation and citizenship and enable young people to take actions to create a society based on tolerance, human rights, and diversity. We are true believers that young people have the power not only to change the issues that Europe is facing but also to use collaborations, non-violent communication, conflict management, and other practices to have a more sustainable and more inclusive future for every person not depending on their gender, race, age, cultural background or religious beliefs. We are using mainly non-formal learning methods that consist of self-directed but continuously supported activities. We believe that young people need to be curious and if they will be curious they will want to learn and achieve great things, therefore, we combine innovative approaches and non-formal education to lead people to think outside of the box and we support maybe even peculiar activities at first, as mindfulness activities, music, theater, and dance therapy, etc. to spark curiosity and to show that by using different non-formal learning approaches learning can be fun and valuable, taking into account that it is adapted and shaped to each individual and personal needs.
