Co-Memo-S
Commoning Marginalized Ecological Memories for Open Sustainability
Project number: 2024-1-BG01-KA220-YOU-000254141
The goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive training program for youth workers, which encourages them to bring young and old people (seniors) together around the theme of sustainability, by means of uncovering and sharing local socioecological memories and knowledge.
Our aim is to develop novel Edu-Tech solutions to encourage youth workers:
- to become agents of socioecological transformation;
- to facilitate intergenerational cooperation and solidarity; and
- to foster communing practices.
By fostering intergenerational dialogue and cooperation, we aim to build bridges between younger and older generations, promote sustainability initiatives at the local level, and address the ecological crisis effectively.
