Venue: Strengberg, Austria
Dates: 9—17 April 2022
Programme & action: Erasmus+ Youth, training course

The trend of making furniture from secondary free or low-value general-purpose materials, such as pallets, packaging wood, and used furniture, is actively expanding, especially in view of COVID outcomes. This counts not only in the private sector but also in the arrangement of commercial spaces (cafes, restaurants, clubs), which causes a significant demand for craftsmen (specialists) who are able to create such furniture or have the appropriate skilled knowledge for gear others. When it comes to the youth sector many NGO’s around Europe don't have stable support, thus for the sake of economy, they use outdated and non-comfortable furniture/furnishing in their organisation facilities that are usually detrimental to health. In the same, youth workers are lacking necessary competencies to implement this type of work.

The main aim of the project is to increase quality youth work by educating youth workers on how to apply Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Sustainability principles while equipping public spaces/organisation facilities with upcycled furnishing/furniture

Objectives:
To increase knowledge of youth workers about Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Sustainability principles and their application in daily work
To increase competencies of youth workers on plan, design, produce and repair furnishing/furniture
To increase competencies of youth workers about using various instruments\tools, materials, as well as safety rules while working with them.
To develop follow-up projects (including equipping public spaces/organisation facilities, including it in ESC activities, craftsman school, etc), by putting in practice acquired competencies during the project

During the project activities, participants are going to design, produce and furnish AKS Noah venue in Strengberg and Perg Youth Center’s public space as well as take part in the public event organised by the Center.
