Description
The trainer shows videos to start discussing about the Green Deal.
These are EC video materials released in connection with the Green Deal:
- for broadcast
- on electricity
- about fuel
- for a carbon-neutral economy of the countries
- for an offshore wind farm
The trainer leads a discussion about the videos and their impact on the participants focusing on what is new, what challenges have been encountered and how they have been addressed.
Practical exercise – shooting a video
- The trainer will divide the participants into 4 groups, possibly again into ‘apples’, ‘pears’, ‘kiwis’ and ‘bananas’.
- Each group should develop a video message to encourage youth participation to raise awareness and engage others about climate change:
- Biodiversity, in order to protect the ecosystem;
- Clean energy and electricity saving;
- Sustainable mobility to promote the use of more sustainable means of transport ;
- Reduction of pollution;
- Two groups cannot work on the same topic.
- Each of the groups will work independently, being creative to present the problem and make a video appeal to the youth on how to solve it in line with the Green Deal. The groups will have 60 minutes to shoot and prepare the videos.
- Each of the groups will present their video. Everyone from the team will participate in the presentation. Each presentation will be 5 minutes long.
- After all video have been shown, the trainer will lead a discussion about the videos and their impact on the participants. He/she will encourage participants to share their key takeaways from the presentations, group work and discussions.
Debriefing
The trainer will facilitate group discussions where participants share their experiences, challenges and what they have learned from the presentations. To encourage deeper understanding and self-evaluation, in the debriefing phase, the trainer can ask the following questions to the group:
- Which of the European Commission’s Green Deal videos influenced you the most and why?
- Was there any surprise for you in these materials?
- Do you have new knowledge about the Green Deal?
- What would you like to take from this knowledge and apply it in your future work with young people?
- Did you find it difficult to make your own videos?
To share learning outcomes:
- Everyone lines up in a tight circle.
- The trainer asks the first person on the left to extend his right hand to the center of the circle and explain what he found difficult and difficult in this training.
- Ask him to use the following phrases: “I didn’t like it when…” or “I liked it when…”.
- Ask the next person on the left to place their hand on the already extended hand of and give an explanation in the same way.
- Continue until everyone has their hands on top of each other.
- Finally, the trainer closes by analyzing the opinions and concludes by noting that this tower of hands represents the group’s mutual power to achieve success.
