Countdown to Zero

KA205 - Strategic Partnerships for youth
The project "Countdown to zero" is a transnational youth initiative organised by young people for young people.
The core group of the project is two youth groups from Estonia and Slovakia. In the project, we would like to expand our group, inspire and empower young people around us and involve them in the active lifestyle and life-long learning process.

The main aim of the project "Countdown to Zero" is to change the consumer habits of young people in Narva and Sered in order to contribute to sustainable development and justice. We expect that after our project young people in Narva and Sered will be more responsible in consumerism, they will think more about what they buy and how it was produced.

Objectives of the project:
- to decrease consumerism among young people in Narva and Sered;
- to engage young people to buy more responsible;
- to engage young people to live more zero waste;
- to raise awareness about sustainable development and human rights among young people;
- to promote human rights and justice as a value;
- to empower youth and boots their active participation through various events and informational campaigns.

In Estonia and Slovakia we plan to implement different local activities such as:
- BESEDKA - meetings with experts - at least 6 activities in Estonia and Slovakia;
- zero waste work-shops - at least 10 activities in Estonia and Slovakia;
- Fair-trade week - information campaign + activities;
- Fashion revolution week - information campaign + activities;
- Sustainable development goals week - information campaign + activities.
