Young people with disabilities are often excluded from environmental concerns and sustainable development issues because of a lack of adapted support and a sometimes limited environment because of their disability. The INSIDEE project (INclusion through SustaInable Development and European Eco-citizenship) aims to develop the knowledge of young people with disabilities (intellectual/mental disability) in terms of sustainable development and provide them with the necessary skills to become active and responsible European eco-citizen. This project will contribute to the awareness of young people about the effects of human actions on the environment, the risks and consequences of a non-respectful behaviour on natural resources.

 

This project will contribute to the awareness of young people about the effects of human actions on the environment, the risks and consequences of a non-respectful behavior on natural resources. 

Through non-formal education, the organization of training activities and creation of adapted tools, a group of 15 youth workers will develop skills and abilities in that field in order to support and encourage the young people of their organization to put into practice eco-actions that can have a positive impact and will lead to reflect on their power to change things as citizens at local and European level. The young will be able to be active role-models as Eco-Ambassadors in their social or professional environment.
