Youth Led Societal Innovation for Resilience (ySI4R)

Also known as Bridgedale360, ySI4R was a 2 year EU funded programme with the aim of inspiring youth toward sustainable living and active citizenship – it was completed Jan 2017 and is awaiting the final report/verdict from the EU. GEN International was a one of 7 partner projects. The final outcome of the project has been the www.Bridgedale360.org online toolbox. Bridgedale360 is built upon the Gaia Education sustainability mandala with the 4 dimensions growing out into 16 modules, each populated with approximately 20 experiential activities. The 80 activities are used by youth workers (or really anyone) to educate and inspire. The core activities have been translated into 7 European languages. There are a few follow on projects that have Erasmus+ applications being reviewed, none of which GEN International is a partner in – however National Networks and GEN Europe member ecovillages are.
