Training: Enable young people to think and act more consciously with the “Who am I and what is my role in society?” workshop.”

How can we awaken in young people their desire to improve their habits so that they are consistent with the principles of sustainable development?

The immense potential of each individual, and in particular of each young person, to contribute to the destiny of humanity, deserves educational support that goes beyond the mere transmission of theoretical knowledge. As pressing as the current challenges defined in the goals - social, economic and political - of sustainable development in the UN's Agenda 2030 may be, are the resources and opportunities that already exist to meet the challenge of a fairer, more united and more sustainable world.

The training aims to enable any interested individual to create spaces for discussion, artistic creation and the implementation of simple service projects that encourage young people and adults to acquire the understanding, habits and personal desire to act in favor of individual and collective well-being.

Participants explore the themes of sacrifice, privilege, justice, choice and power of expression, gender equality, prejudice, hope and social influence,

The 3 stages are completed in two 3-hour blocks.

1. Study and reflect on the general vision of development education and the principles and values that underpin it. (1h30)
2. Reading and production of teaching materials with ongoing reflection on approaches and methods (3h depending on materials)
3. Questions and role-playing activities (1h30)
