Youth For Sustainability: Changing Consumption Patterns
Youth For Sustainability: Changing Consumption Patterns
16-23 July 2006
Sofia, Bulgaria
The National Association of the UN Youth Clubs has the pleasure of
inviting you to participate in the international seminar "Youth For
Sustainability: Changing Consumption Patterns".
Young people today constitute an important group within our consumer
societies, and the habit they develop now will play a decisive role
in the
future consumption patterns. Their decisions as consumers exercise a
growing
influence on markets and lifestyles. Therefore, they deserve special
attention in efforts to change our wasteful consumption patterns into
ones
that are more attuned to sustainable development.
The seminar "Youth for Sustainability: Changing Consumption Patterns"
aims
at underlining the importance of and the urgent need for a change in
consumption patterns and attitudes. It will emphasise the role of
education
in shaping attitudes, values and behaviour, while developing the
capacities,
skills and commitment needed for building a sustainable future.
Through the project we'll try to show young people that it is
possible to
translate our aspirations for a better world into everyday actions.
The rich social program, including hiking in Vitosha mountain and
sightseeing trip to the Rila Monastery, one of the most significant
and
picturesque monuments on the Balkans, will enable the participants to
feel
the atmosphere of Bulgaria -an ever-evolving and modern country with
great
cultural heritage and traditions, dating back from Roman and
Byzantine
times.
