EMBRACE is a groundbreaking project designed to address the pressing issue of plastic pollution and promote environmental sustainability, aligning with the European Green Deal, 2030 Agenda & EU biodiversity strategy for 2030.
EMBRACE focuses on harnessing the power of youth to drive meaningful change in the fight against plastic pollution & the transition to a circular, bio-based economy. Plastic pollution is a global challenge that demands immediate attention. EMBRACE aims to educate / activate young people, aged 13+, from diverse backgrounds, including those with fewer opportunities, to become change-makers & ambassadors for the environment.
Through a series of innovative workshops, field surveys, participants will gain essential knowledge, skills, and transversal competencies. EMBRACE will launch an innovative e-platform which will serve as a hub for data collection, dissemination & communication. Users will be able to upload area information, photographs, videos & waste types.
