We are proud to announce the successful completion of the international youth project “Cool Leaders Academy 2025”, held from October 25 to November 2 in the picturesque town of Bakuriani, Georgia. Implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme, the project brought together passionate young leaders and youth workers from across Europe for a transformative learning experience.
A Mission to Empower Eco-Conscious Youth
The core aim of Cool Leaders Academy 2025 was to empower young leaders and youth workers in the fields of environmental education, eco-awareness, and digital responsibility. Participants representing Georgia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Croatia, Poland, Germany, and Armenia united around one shared mission: to develop eco-conscious changemakers capable of initiating and promoting impactful environmental actions within their communities.
Key Objectives of the Project
The program was designed to:
Engage youth in raising awareness about environmental and climate issues
Develop “eco-trainers” who can multiply knowledge in their local contexts
Strengthen cooperation between EU and Eastern Partnership countries around shared ecological goals
Promote World Cleanup Day and Digital Cleanup Day initiatives
Implement MasterPeace’s innovative educational model “Cool Leader”, which supports youth development through creative and interactive learning approaches
A Week of Learning, Leadership, and Collaboration
Throughout the week, participants took part in interactive trainings, hands-on workshops, and practical sessions, gaining both theoretical knowledge and real-life experience. They strengthened their leadership abilities, teamwork capacities, and communication skills through group tasks, debates, and collaborative presentations.
This dynamic environment fostered deeper understanding of environmental responsibility and international cooperation. Participants left the academy inspired and motivated to apply their new knowledge and drive positive environmental change in their home communities.
Aligned with Global Sustainability Goals
Cool Leaders Academy 2025 supports the principles of the EU Green Deal, the Paris Agreement, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — positioning the initiative as a meaningful contribution to the global movement for a greener, more sustainable future.
Collaboration Behind the Success
The project was made possible through the partnership between MasterPeace and Let’s Do It Georgia, with the support of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all organizers, trainers, and participants for their commitment, energy, and collaboration throughout this inspiring journey.
