Portfolio 2026–2027
What we build next, with young people.
Press kit is part of the 2026–2027 portfolio of Asociația Grupul Verde: 43 programme lines in which young people build technology for nature, protected species, climate and democracy, with partners from Romania and the EU through Horizon Europe, LIFE, Erasmus+, the European Solidarity Corps and CERV.
Technology, AI and resilience
Resilience of rural communities to shocks
Villages learn to withstand drought, floods, price shocks and isolation. Young people map local resources and build simple alert tools.
Target programme: Horizon Europe
Linked to: Rural communities, Resilient Communities
Open science and research
Youth, science and democracy (science literacy)
Pupils learn to read a study, spot a misleading statistic and build their own experiment with low-cost sensors.
Target programme: Horizon Europe
Linked to: Media & Democracy, AI in Romania
Living labs for nature and climate
European network of living labs for nature restoration
The Vrancea living labs connect with labs in other countries: the same data, compared, and young people learning from each other.
Target programme: Horizon Europe · Nature
Linked to: Nature Restored, Partners & UNESCO
Democracy, memory and citizenship
Intergenerational communities
Young people teach grandparents to use a phone safely; grandparents give them the stories and crafts that young people digitise.
Target programme: Horizon Europe · NEB
Linked to: Active ageing, Intergenerational Network
Erasmus+ and mobility
Short-term mobility projects — adult education
Trainers and adult volunteers learn abroad how to teach AI literacy and digital skills to adults and older people.
Target programme: Erasmus+
Linked to: Active ageing, Digital Inclusion
European Solidarity Corps
Youth solidarity projects (Asociația Grupul Verde as coach)
Young people write their own project and Asociația Grupul Verde supports them as coach: from idea to application, delivery and report.
Target programme: European Solidarity Corps
Linked to: Youth, gender & activism, Young Innovators Incubator
