The youth exchange 'Snapshot to Environment' aims to connect 36 young people from 6 European Union and European Neighboring (EECA) countries with the aim to provide space to discuss global environmental challenges, their local impact and work together to create tools for raising awareness on those issues in their communities. The tools of YE are photography and video that will promote creativity among participants, create an encouraging space for youth to freely express, share opinions and learn from each other. Environment being universal will be the platform for promoting peace building and active citizenship. Participants will share experience, develop knowledge and skills on environment, water and sustainable development issues. The project will engage and empower them to advocate and participate in solving local environmental issues. Methods used will include taking photos in communities, creative presentations, simulation, discussions, workshops on quality in photo/video making, street photography, etc, developing skills in eco-campaigns, event management, etc.The project will culminate with outdoor exhibition in Yerevan where selected photos will be shared with larger public - through photos transferring concern and the message of participants to locals. A video will be prepared by participants during the YE and shared with larger public after the project.
