"<< Background >>The project ""Green Three Seas Initiative for Youth"" is in line with the European Union's efforts to achieve a climate-neutral continent by 2050. Our project will focus on the social, youth and economic dimensions of the ecological transformation set by the European Green Deal. Together with our partners, we have identified, in the planning phase of the project, the two most important specific areas within the scope of the horizontal priority ""environment and the fight against climate change"", which will form the axis of our project: - Green Three Seas for Youth - Youth for Green Three Seas - Green Labour Market - green skills for youthThe organizations involved in our project represent industrial regions that are most exposed to the potential effects of the unfairly carried out ecological transformation. Youth from these regions should be given a say in the direction of this transformation. Young people realize that this is the moment when they have the opportunity to create a place for their lives and work in the future. That is why we decided to establish a cooperative partnership that will bring together 10 youth work organizations based in the industrial centers of the Three Seas Initiative countries. The ""Green Three Seas for Youth"" project responds to the needs of youth, the needs of our organizations, local, national and international needs that we identified during the planning stage.The youth voice is still not strong enough in the public debate. Our project is a way to strengthen it. On the basis of youth recommendations, we will develop a ""Green Three Seas for Youth"" Strategy, which will be presented to decision-makers. The strategy will contribute to youth activization. We got in touch with the Youth Councils operating in the countries of our organizations, their members say clearly - the lack of expert strategic documents and analysis that are based on youth recommendations is one of the biggest obstacles to effective action and lobbying for youth demands. Our project also addresses the needs of youth to increase their employability. The first chapter of our Strategy will be the chapter ""Green Labour Market"". - this is an area of particular importance for young people who will have to find their way in the reality undergoing transformation. Within the framework of our project we meet the needs of young people who want to develop competencies that will allow them to find their place in the labour market of the future. We will create a workshop scenario that will help young people find their way in the green job market, develop their green competencies and prepare them to live and work in the societies of the future.<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to strengthen cooperation within the Three Seas Initiative for climate, environment, sustainable development and the European Green Deal. Building a strong partnership of organizations and institutions for the climate will contribute to increasing the Initiative's potential by increasing social capital within participating organizations, associate partners and third parties that will be affected by the project through dissemination events and a social campaign. The project also aims to increase the role of young people in the public debate by basing the main result of the project, the Green Three Seas Strategy for Young People, on the recommendations of young people. We will raise the competences of young people, thus increasing their employability in the changing reality of the Green Deal. The preparation, implementation and popularization of the ""Green Labor Market - Green Competences"" workshops, which will become an integral part of the local activities of our organizations, will implement our goal in the field of sectoral priorities: Promoting active citizenship, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship of young people, and Empowering young people for employment. Conducting such workshops in the areas of activity of our organizations - industrial areas, will have tangible effects in the form of supporting young people in making career path choices, by educating and raising environmental awareness and related knowledge about the effects of climate change, as well as the effects of activities aimed at their retention on the economy and the labor market.

In the first place, it is a workshop work with the use of non-formal education methods conducted with the use of modern digital means of distance communication. This method will be used to carry out activities aimed at developing the results of the project. At the same time, 10 stationary international meetings will be held, which will aim to get to know each other better, evaluate the activities on a current basis, manage the project and set project goals for the next stages As part of the project, we also plan to carry out a blended mobility activity, which aims to test workshops in the field of green competences and green jobs prepared earlier by young people. 20 participants from groups at risk of social exclusion will take part in the exchange. At the end of the project, we are planning a wide-ranging online social campaign and a series of 10 national dissemination meetings with decision-makers..<< Results >>The first result of the project will be the ""Green Three Seas for Young"" strategy. The document will consist of the following parts: Chapter I: The Green Labor Market Chapter II: Just Transition Chapter III: Inclusive climate policies Chapter IV: Ecological education The strategy aims to collect demands and recommendations of young people from industrial regions who will be affected by deep reforms under the European Green Deal. Young people are aware that these changes relate primarily to their future, therefore they would like to comment on the topic and involve them in the transformation process. The strategy will be preceded by an online survey in which 10,000 young people will take part. The second result will be scenarios of workshops on the green labor market and green competences. Again, the youth saw that traditional professions in their regions, such as mining, metallurgy and heavy industry, would be deeply reformed. Youngpeople understand the need for change, therefore they want to better prepare themselves and their peers for the new times. A separate result will be an extensive information campaign promoting both the European Green Deal and the ""Green Three Seas for Young"" strategy. The campaign will reach 100,000 online audiences and 200 audiences attending national dissemination events. Policy makers will be invited to the national meetings and will be officially presented with the strategy for inclusion in local policy. More than the above, thanks to the implementation, young people: - will acquire the competence to create international campaigns to disseminate the results and products of the project, - They will acquire competence in conducting surveys, street probes and then analyzing their results and their presentation, - increase their competences in cooperation with international organizations, - will expand their language competences, - learn to manage international projects, - will raise digital competences, - learn how to work effectively in international (multicultural) groups, - learn the basics of running a social campaign, - they will gain self-confidence, - learn design thinking, - will gain the ability to work in a group and build relationships in a team, - will develop creative thinking, - will develop knowledge of the English language, - will gain communication and self-presentation skills, - learn to plan activities effectively to achieve their goals, - gain new, valuable international contacts, - They will learn how to create a strategy, - They will learn the principles of the European Green Deal, - They will be given the opportunity to comment on topics important from the point of view of young people. Regardless of the above: - A strategic partnership of 10 organizations will be established, which will also function after the end of the project."
