Introduction

This will be an eight day (7-14 October 2013) residential training course, hosted at organic agro

tourism farm, with the involvement of 24 participants from 8 countries. The main aim of the

project is to promote Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) among youth workers in

European countries, thus contributing to raising awareness of sustainable development issues

among young people. Climate change makes sustainable development an urgent global priority.Achieving sustainable development is impossible without wide social awareness of the problem,

including through education and youth work. This project provides a non-formal educational

platform for youth workers to learn and gain competences in sustainable development work

with young people locally and internationally. The course is centered around the concept of

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as a practical tool of education for young people

not only about the problems of climate change but also about possible solutions. The project

will also promote local initiatives based on the principles of sustainability located around in the

Lower Silesia region.

The Venue

Project will be hosted in a mointainous area of Izera Mountains (Polish Gry Izerskie) in theSouth of Poland, near to boarder with Czech Republic. Participants will be lodged in a rural

traditional craftmanship and is well known for its devotion for organic farming and food

production.
