Allow participants to regain a positive image of themselves through creativity, involvement in a collaborative project with other young people from different backgrounds.

Promote equity, effectiveness of education and active citizenship in raising awareness on environmental issues.

Improve the creative, organizational and numerical skills of the young participants but also provide them with a good knowledge of their local and regional context, including contacts with companies.

To enable young people to acquire eco-skills by teaching them how to act on their waste production in an appropriate way, while becoming actors to sensitize others around them.

To open to new economic sectors in the field of crafts, handicrafts, decoration, design, etc.
