Localy will support young people (YP) to effectively contribute to addressing environmental problems in their localities, by providing them with the skills needed to design community-based projects to address an environmental issue, implement the projects, evaluate the results and document what they have done. In so doing, Localy will increase local awareness of environmental issues, as well as local support for youth organisations that serve their communities.

Localy is centred on the development of an innovative toolkit designed specifically for non-formal learning: it will be hands-on, allowing young people to engage in experiential learning and to act within their communities. Youth workers will be trained and will support the piloting of the Localy toolkit with 5 groups across 4 countries. The impacts of the pilot (learning, awareness-raising, environmental impacts) will be evaluated, to support the broad dissemination of the Localy toolkit.

YP will have acquired the skills (including GreenComp) to develop and implement community-based projects addressing environmental issues. Youth organisations across the EU (and beyond) will have access to an innovative, engaging, hands-on toolkit to implement with their YP. Local communities will benefit both from the projects implemented by YP, and from having YP with the skills needed to address future challenges. Local authorities and communities will be activated to support this work.
