The objectives of our project are multifaceted and geared towards empowering young participants with valuable skills,
knowledge, and experiences that contribute to their personal development, well-being, and active citizenship. We aim to
foster cultural understanding and openness among young participants by bringing together youths from diverse cultural
backgrounds. Our project encourages them to appreciate and respect different cultures, traditions, and perspectives,
aligning with the core principles of youth work, which emphasize intercultural dialogue and tolerance.
The Green Roots project seeks to enhance participants' environmental awareness and promote sustainable practices.
Through workshops, activities, and discussions, we intend to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to adopt
eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyles. This objective aligns with the principles of environmental education, encouraging
young individuals to become responsible global citizens.
The project also promotes healthy eating habits and overall well-being among participants. By introducing them to plantbased,
vegan cuisine and emphasizing the benefits of nutritious and sustainable food choices, our project contributes to the
physical and mental well-being of young people. This objective resonates with the holistic development of individuals,
including their physical health.
Green Roots places a strong emphasis on teamwork and effective communication skills. Through collaborative cooking, art
workshops, and group activities, participants learn to work together, resolve conflicts, and communicate efficiently. These
skills are essential for personal growth and highly valued in youth work practice.
Another key objective is to empower young participants to take on leadership roles and become active agents of change in
their communities. By organizing and participating in project activities, they develop leadership skills, self-confidence, and a
sense of responsibility. Empowering young people to lead and make positive contributions aligns with the principles of youth
work in promoting active citizenship.
Our project encourages young people to embrace a sense of global citizenship and European identity. By engaging with
peers from various European countries, participants gain a deeper understanding of European values, diversity, and
cooperation. This objective supports the concept of European youth work, which aims to strengthen European identity and
cohesion.
We also aim to disseminate the project's outcomes and knowledge beyond the immediate participants. By sharing the
recipe book, sustainable kitchen manual, and other materials, we extend the project's impact to other youth organizations
and individuals. This objective aligns with the practice of knowledge sharing and collaboration in youth work.
In summary, the objectives of our project, from the perspective of youth work practice, revolve around promoting cultural
understanding, environmental awareness, healthy living, teamwork, leadership, and active citizenship among young
participants. We strive to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate a diverse and interconnected world
while making meaningful contributions to their communities and society at large.
