The program also integrates traditional knowledge and cultural perspectives to enrich environmental education, fostering respect for local ecosystems and cultural heritage.
Erasmus+ resources enable the development of innovative digital and outdoor learning materials tailored to South African contexts. SayPro coordinates campaigns that raise awareness about waste reduction, water conservation, and renewable energy among youth. The project emphasizes inclusivity by supporting young women, people with disabilities, and underrepresented groups to participate fully. By building environmental literacy and leadership, SayPro and Erasmus+ help cultivate a generation prepared to address environmental challenges and advocate for sustainable policies at local, national, and international levels.
