ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΟΣ

Overconsumption is a significant global issue. It is both detrimental to ourenvironment and has seen to perpetuate a materialistic way of life that canreally impact our mental health. This is especially evident with the sort ofadvertising we see and hear and experience on a daily basis, the variousforms of the same product that is not necessary but solely to flaunt, the easein which we can buy things offline without so much as moving two fingers.We are increasingly purchasing things out of want and not need---but mosttimes, our 'wants' are just a perpetuation of outside influence. This is why itis so important to be aware about the many ways that harmful media andother external sources can influence the way we think, purchase, and spend,so that we can make conscious changes to our consumption habits.
To this end, the project seeks to find a sustainable balance in everyday life by exploring alternatives such as swapping, repurposing, and cherishing what is already there.

This training course aims to enable participants to become better consumers. It looks to empowertraining participants with valuable and exciting digital tools to help them spread lessons learnedtowards achieving the SDGs. Its objective is to raise awareness about the negative consequences ofoverconsumption and encourage everyone to adopt
more sustainable and responsible consumption habits. The project will bring together youth workers from different European regions to find innovative solutions that can be applied and adapted to their local contexts.
