Multi – Measure project – Youth exchange & Training course
Edu-GamEco multimeasure project consisted in one youth exchange of 10 days which took place in Lefkas where 40 youngsters (educators, tinkerers, designers) from 8 European organizations & institutions, including 6 people with disabilities were involved.During the exchange the youngsters exchanged views, experiences and good practices about the consumption of ecological toys as well as the negative effects of the noxious toys on the youth. The participants had the opportunity to develop in practice some new skills and innovative methods to promote and disseminate the culture of consuming ecological, sustainable toys. The second phase of the project was a 10 day training course in Lefkada where 3 young people were involved who already participated to the previous mobility. During this course, the participants developed competences about the education in the social entrepreneurship in order to promote and commercialize the educational-ecological toys.
