Project Description
Best practices Exchange for youth Trainers in the field of Sharing Economy and Ecology (BETSEE) aims at exchanging best practices in the field of ecological education with a special focus on “green” sharing economy among organizations that are all expert in youth education, each with a focus on a different target group.
The idea of implementing this exchange of best practices was born from the need observed by the project partners of supporting youth educators in adopting an innovative methodology able to teach young people how to be eco-responsible in order to tackle climate change and waste. In Europe the overconsumption of goods has reached levels that are no longer sustainable and that are bringing to major environmental issues. According to the European Commission, “we currently use 16 tons of material per person per year, of which 6 tons become waste”.
Activities
BETSEE will organize 4 Study Visits in each partner country to exchange good practices on how to train youth workers to give classes focusing on “green” sharing economy and develop soft skills.
Partners’ educators observed best practices implemented in the other partners’ countries and organized Local Activities in their communities to promote sharing economy and green habits among young people from disadvantaged groups.
Thanks to the observation of best practices for teaching “green” sharing economy, the partner organizations collected the best methods for youth education in the BETSEE Green E-Manual.
Green E-Manual
The Green E-Manual is the main result of our project.
The E-Manual includes:
- SECTION 1 with the methodology and best practices on how to develop and deliver courses about “green” sharing economy and ecological practices also promoting the acquisition of soft skills among disadvantaged youth.
- SECTION 2 listing the latest “green” sharing economy tools and Apps in France, Italy, Portugal and Ireland.
