as well as the variety of creative and innovative methods that can be used.
🌱Non-formal education and experiential learning principles will guide the process all throughout the project as the best way of empowering young people and mobilising them to develop and advocate for new alternative, more sustainable ways of living.
🌱Global Education in order to develop competencies among Campaigners and those targeted by the Caravan and enable them to participate in shaping a better shared future for the world.
