Description
The project is aimed at increasing public awareness on the issues of international development cooperation and on the 17 Sustanaible Development Goals. CHAlleNGE proposes a challenge for a change that involves younger generations in a challenge that leads to a call to action and emulation of sustainable behaviours. It is intended to disseminate the knowledge necessary to understand the issues of agroecology meant as a form of active and concrete participation in order to mitigate the impact of food production and consumption on the environment and the climate changes. ACTIONS: 1. The dissemination of knowledge regarding issues related to agroecology is divided into an action dedicated to educators and teachers and one to young people (ages 11/18)a) Teachers and educators mationwide will be introduced to agroecology and to methodologies for disseminating knowledge on environmental education to the younger generations. They will learn how to do it in a participatory way, with an emotionally engaging language capable of generating awareness and change. b) Young people of the lower and upper secondary level of 7 regions will participate in environmental education workshops focused on the 6 pillars identified by the document drawn up by AZIONE TERRÆ - Coalition for the Agroecological Transition: land, seeds, markets, services, young people, women. All the workshops will see these young people involved in training experiences at farms close to their realities. Educators and experts will lead them through experiential workshops and they will realize artistic reworking of information, then disseminated (mainly via social media) in a generative process of peer education, through the creation of memes, cartoons and short videos. A CHAlleNGE will be launched for the selection of the best outputs made by young people that will be disseminated to all their peers nationwide. 2. In the local community, in addition to the younger generations and their educators, the stakeholder community - a heterogeneous group that can define a governance in the field of sustainable agriculture and sustainable consumption, participatory and rooted at all levels - plays a key role. We intend to reach different groups of stakeholders and with them activate a reactive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision making process at all levels: a) The partnership will seek to collect and make easily accessible all examples of agroecological solutions of proven efficacy for the dissemination of sustainable production practices and lifestyles and food production in harmony with nature. b) This mapping will be the tool that will make it possible to disseminate, inform and urge institutional subjects, philanthropic bodies but also sector operators and communication operators at a national level to take action, through seminars and information conferences. c) LSPA (Local and Solidarity-based Partnerships for Agroecology - https://urgenci.net/the-mediterranean-csa project/), the Communities in Support of Agriculture, consumer groups, biodistricts, markets, direct sales networks and agroecological companies will be the beneficiaries of the realization of participatory territorial planning boards which, over the 2 years of the project, will elaborate proposals to strengthen the agroecological ties in the communities. d) The best proposals elaborated by the participatory territorial planning boards will be supported and accompanied in their realization. 3. The third pillar on which the CHAlleNGE project is based is dedicated to the entire citizenship at national level, here understood in the role of consumer, who is accompanied in acquiring awareness on the impact of the products they buy, but also guided in experimenting and knowing a new paradigm underlying the relationships between farms and / or producers and consumers; a paradigm capable of creating new agricultural communities.
