Biography

It is developped based on learner-centred, participatory, dialogue-oriented and experiential methodologies about the Sustainable Development Goals and in particular three of the 17 goals: SDG 5 - Gender Equality, SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 12 - Sustainable Consumption and Production. The Toolkit has been developed primarily for youth workers and youth trainers in non-formal educational settings that work with young people between the ages of 14 and 30; however, it can equally be used within the formal education system. Since the project itself focuses on organisations and structures within small localities of no more than 50.000 inhabitants, the toolkit has been developed with theses settings in mind. Of course, the activities can be applied in any bigger town or city as well.
