GYM – Greening Youth Minds: Empowering Youth for Environmental Action
The Erasmus+ project "GYM – Greening Youth Minds" addresses the need to equip youth workers with knowledge, skills and tools to foster young people's commitment to environmental protection. Led by TIA Formazione Internazionale (Italy), and joined by partners from Greece, Spain and Ireland, the project promotes youth participation, non-formal education and active citizenship in line with the EU Youth Strategy 2019–2027.
Main activities
- Creation of GYM T-Kits: practical and methodological toolkits for youth workers.
- International training sessions to validate and disseminate the T-Kits.
- Local pilot workshops with young people.
- Dissemination actions to ensure sustainability and multiplier effect.
A European digital platform for environmental learning
The project’s official platform gymproject.eu functions as a multilingual hub for collaboration and knowledge sharing. It provides:
- Partner profiles and country-based actions
- Access to GYM T-Kits and upcoming training resources
- Project updates, activities, and best practices
The platform is designed to remain active beyond the project’s end, supporting youth workers, educators and community organisations interested in green citizenship and environmental education.
Why GYM matters
Young people are key to driving the ecological transition. GYM provides them with the tools to act, while supporting youth workers to guide and inspire change. The project strengthens connections between youth, adult, and VET education through cross-sectoral collaboration and inclusive approaches.
