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, horse riding (optional) 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.
