Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

As part of the activities of our youth centre we undertake a variety of activities for young people, from language learning, to various clubs and educational seminars and workshops. Our organisation has a very active environmental approach and it is one of our priorities to preserve and protect our environment. As most of the damage to our environment is based on human behaviour we have developed this EVS project in line with our other EVS project to allow youth from other countries to volunteer at our organisation and work with local youth on developing education, activities and knowledge on environmental conservation and protection. The ideas is that youth identify the problems with greater emphasis on bad habits that young people have regarding their approach to conservation. The project will undertake a variety of activities from outdoor activities like beach and forest clean-ups to creating awareness of ways to reduce our carbon footprint. The main focus of our project is youth in our local community but also for adults who have become so use to ignoring their bad habits. We want to create better awareness of the environmental problems and give the local people the information and knowledge they need to make more informed choices and take action which is friendlier to their our environment. Our project will allow our current volunteers from Cyprus and our new volunteers from other countries to work on ways and projects to get our youth more aware of the problems. We will create events and activities to create awareness of the problems and the solutions. Our EVS volunteers will learn all these methods and will also teach other members of the community to do these tasks. Our volunteers will work in various areas of the abovementioned project and will also work in the various areas of our youth centre and interact with our local community and promote the idea of environmental conservation and at the same time help to promote a more environmentally friendly EU. The youth will work with youth and with people within the organisation on the various projects and events. The volunteers are always encouraged to give their input and the organisation will support the ideas of the volunteers. We hope that at the end of this project our youth are more aware of the importance of environmental conservation and protection. We also hope that our volunteers will take these lessons back to their own countries and initiate similar projects and activities in their own countries. We will continue to support this project after this EVS project and hope for it to be so successful that we can have a follow up EVS project to continue the work of this project.
