The aims of the Youth and Environment Training Project were to: increase youth workers' awareness and understanding of conservation and environmental issues and their relevance to young people; create links between environmental education and youth work practice; develop strategies for implementing conservation and environmental activities within the youth work curriculum; develop materials and techniques which can be used with young people; and develop local networks. This document is designed to provide an overview of the first phase of this project, during which most of the face-to-face work was done. Four examples of specific programs of youth work, including ideas for further development, are described in detail. Discussed are working face-to-face in youth groups; working with young people on a city-wide level; training; and networking. (CW)
