Aims & objectives

AIM:
The #Greenfluencers project aligns closely with these pressing concerns and aligns with the European Union's Action Program on the Environment. Our goal is to contribute to shaping a future where society embraces a zero-waste ethos, manages natural resources sustainably, safeguards citizens' health from environmental harm, and actively preserves, appreciates, and restores biodiversity. Through our initiatives, we aim to empower individuals to make environmentally conscious choices that positively impact both our climate and personal well-being.

OBJECTIVES:
- To share good practices in the field of environmental awareness among organisations that work directly with youth
- To work jointly in environmental campaigns, in which youngsters will end up becoming multipliers with the scope of turning them into active citizens with a critical spirit
- To analyse social entrepreneurship cases based on sustainability and responsible consumption, in order to discover new possibilities for unemployed youngsters that find themselves in a crucial moment to define their professional future
- To disseminate the “Zero Waste” philosophy and the circular economy concept
- To find joint solutions to environmental challenges at a local and European level
- To foster a sustainable and healthy lifestyle amongst youngsters
- To contribute to making environmental policies a priority in the local, regional and European political agenda
