This project has been funded by the European Union.
The YESDGs project aims to promote active citizenship and youth entrepreneurship, focusing on awareness and knowledge of measures for mitigating and adapting to climate change.
Targeting individuals aged 16 to 30, the project facilitates transnational networking to build capabilities and skills.
The goal is to encourage young people to become proactive citizens, leading concrete actions to address climate change and contributing to Sustainable Development Goals, recognizing the key role of youth in building a sustainable future.
Ballyhoura Development is the lead partner in this project and is working alongside partners in Portugal, Lithuania, Belgium, Greece and Italy.
The first element of the project involves completing research on the level of youth knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change among young people in the Ballyhoura area and in the other partner countries.
The next element of the project involves developing learning modules on these topics and testing them with young people and youth workers.
The final stage will be the full roll out of these and a Hackathon event which will bring young people from the various partner countries together to develop solutions and allow them to take action for sustainable development.
If you are interested in learning more about the project or are involved in a youth group that may want to take part, get in touch with Development Officer, Rhiannon Laubach at [email protected] or 087-1940608.
