Description: In October 2021, a group of young people (aged 15 to 17) from France, Greece, Latvia and Spain carried out a joint project on waste management in Cassis, France. Environ- mental protection was also a topic. The programme was designed to alternate non-formal educational activities and environmental awareness-raising with playful activities. For example, the group visited the Ressourcerie d’Aubagne, where discarded or donated items are collected to give them a second life and resell them. The young people learned how the insti- tution works. In a workshop, they learned how to make a bag out of an old t-shirt. The young people also took part in a workshop on collecting waste by the city of Aubagne. The workshop was designed to make the young people aware of waste separation and the protec- tion of the natural places that surround them. The mayor also introduced them to the environ- mental and youth-related projects of the city of Aubagne.
Description: The three partners organised a radio show dedicated to the theme of sustainable international mobility. On the programme was Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps; testimonials about discovering Europe by bike; a round table on sustainable travel; sustainable tourism; and moving abroad. Politicians, local stakeholders, Erasmus students and young people exchanged their views on the different topics in the radio show. There are other testimonies by young people who have experienced sustainable mobility in France and abroad on the website in the section “Sustainable mobility is feasible” . There is also a small film about the radio show on the website.

Water carriers / Porteurs d’eau
Organisations: Association Le Réseau d’Entraide Volontaires (REV) - Solidarités Jeunesses (France)
Project: International youth exchange
Description: This international camp is organised in partnership with Syndicat mixte Rivage and the town of Barcarès, on the edge of the Salses Leucate pond, in a protected wetland that is renowned for its varied biodiversity. The partnership between Syndicat mixte Rivage and REV has existed for several years. The syndicate collaborates regularly with REV on the organisation of international worksites or other occasional events. In addition to removing invasive species (witches’ claw, yucca, prickly pears, agaves, etc.), This year’s project aimed to help implement measures for the protection and enhancement of existing biodiversity on the site (e.g., trail layout). Since the work is linked to weather conditions, tasks are generally defined at the start of the project. Activities are in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals 14 and 15 of the UN (protection of aquatic and terrestrial fauna and flora). The site allowed for carrying out several activities: clearing sites (cutting down trees), delimiting the protected area of the site frequented by kite surfers, for example (installing wooden barriers), uprooting invasive species in order to allow endemic flora and fauna to reproduce. The aim of the project is to preserve the surround - ings of the pond, whether by managing human use or plant growth.
Countries: France, Morocco
Organisations: Cool’eurs du Monde (France); IFKER Association for Environmental Education and Sustainable Development (Morocco)
Description: Since 2014, the IFKER Association for Environmental Education and Sustainable Development, in partnership with the association Cool’eurs du Monde, has been organising youth exchange projects which promote the development of active citizenship and intercul- turality between Morocco and France. This is facilitated by the fact that IFKER is accredited by the EU to host and send European and Moroccan young people. 15 young people (eight French, seven Moroccan) from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds and different locations committed themselves to carrying out a Franco-Moroccan collaborative project entitled “Water carriers “ (July 2019). The aim was to enhance the cultural and natural heritage, namely the large historical gates of the Zerhoun villages and the water sources of the territory, a true common heritage.
