Human change not climate change
“Human change not climate change” is a mobility of youth workers, KA1 Training Course, under Erasmus+ and will be implemented by Copernicus Berlin and Copernicus Yerevan. The training course will take place in Yerevan, Armenia and it will involve 32 youth workers from 8 different countries (Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine and Armenia).
The main aim of the project is to provide youth workers with new knowledge and competences on climate change. In this regard, some of the specific objectives of the project for youth workers are: to better understand the threat of climate change for present and future generations; to explore cause & effect of climate change and understanding the influence of human activities; to learn what Intergenerational Justice and Accountability is and how young people of today will still be alive to bear the climate impacts of tomorrow caused by the older generation.
The project will use non formal learning methodology including methods such as: ice breakers, energizers, name games, reflection groups, working into intercultural subgroups, facilitated discussion, creative presentations, simulation, case study and debates.
The project will involve 32 participants, 4 for each of the Partner Countries, over 18 years. The project is implemented by 8 organizations and financed by the European Commission through Erasmus+ programme.
