Project mission
The ECOYOUNG ON PEDALS project was an ERASMUS+, KA210 youth collaboration project, subsidized by the European Union. It involved the exchange of best practices and various activities to implement projects among young people in a collaborative effort between four European entities. The project's overarching goals were to promote sustainable mobility and raise awareness about environmental and health concerns through the use of bicycles. Additionally, it aimed to bring attention to vulnerable groups, either due to socio-economic situations or residing in rural or remote areas.
The entities participating in the ECOYOUTH ON PEDALS project were:
Velorecicla: Leading organization, Agres (Alicante), Spain.
Amics, Agres (Alicante), Spain.
Il Germoglio, Ferrara, Italy.
Cardea, The Netherlands.
The project sought to foster social inclusion and equal opportunities, primarily for individuals at risk of social exclusion and those living in rural and remote areas, with fewer opportunities for education, establishing businesses for learning or repairing bicycles, or participating in sports.
Furthermore, the project aimed to enhance the skills of youth workers by developing and sharing methods and generating innovative practices to reach young people in rural areas or facing socio-economic challenges. This was accomplished through digital learning of competencies, with the primary objective of raising awareness about environmental conservation.
The main outcome sought with this project was to improve the quality of professionals working with young people by achieving:
A guide of 60 best practices on activities related to bicycle use, encompassing environmental care, sustainable mobility, personal health, promotion of solidarity and cooperation attitudes, employability, etc.
A methodological guide comprising 10 teaching units in leisure education with activities centered around bicycle use and sustainable mobility.
A series of 15 videos on basic bicycle repair and maintenance.
Two board games themed around bicycle use, environmental care, cooperation, sustainable mobility, healthy living, etc.
A series of 10 videos with messages related to environmental care, personal health, cooperation, sustainable mobility, etc., and bicycle use.
The project commenced in September 2022 and concluded in March 2024. Over this year and a half, various in-person meetings and practical sessions were conducted in different countries to exchange knowledge and working methods, enhancing the richness of the services offered by different entities for working with the youth in their communities. Simultaneously, materials were planned and developed to produce the final project outcomes.
