In nowadays context we are facing an increasing critical situation in matters of global warming and it becomes necessary to highlight the human rights implications of environmental issues. Many international documents have contributed to elaborate these concepts (from the Stockholm Declaration in 1972, until the Conference of Rio de Janeiro in 1992)."Green rights" Youth exchange is a project which aims at bringing together in Serbia, during 6 days, 20 young people between 16-25 years old from Portugal, Italy, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina! which, through a set of non-formal education activities, will explore the interdependence between environmental issues and the safeguarding of human rights. It will specially promote the debate on how environmental matters can affect human right issues and analyze how a sustainable development approach can contribute to promote human rights.The main objectives of the exchange are: to raise awareness on human rights and environmental issues; share best practices in order to increase youth participation in topics related to the Sustainable Development; provide a multicultural environment where young people can experience the process of intercultural learning through the use of non-formal education activities (such as role-plays, artistic workshops, forum theatre, open air-activities and others).
