Intellectual Output 1:

IO1 is a result of the Good practice research that the 6 partners of the project #GO GREEN – YOUTH NAVIGATOR did. Each partner needed to find 2 good practices on a local and international level based on ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABLE LIVING EDUCATION. These good practices include organizations that are closely working with the subject of the project and they will contribute to a better understanding of how we can use education on building a more sustainable environment. The good practices were collected and took part in interviews that the partners organized through this project. The main aim is to get inspired and share their knowledge with other stakeholders and organizations. It is important to give a voice to these organizations that are working through a more sustainable way of living.

Here we are presenting to you the Organisations/Initiatives of Cyprus that were involved in the project to inspire through their good practices:
