The central aim of the Eco-Champions Project is to actively engage citizens and communities in discussions and activities directly linked to EU sustainable waste management policies, allowing them to participate in the EU policymaking process and thus contribute to the democratic and civic life of the Union and create a sense of community pride and unity showcasing the positive contributions locally and regionally. Through a wide range of workshops, training, and activities implemented in 4 European countries, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Greece, with the addition of Kosovo from the Western Balkans region, Eco-Champions aspires to provide an opportunity to raise awareness and change \u2013 medium term and long term- societal behaviors. To develop a more holistic approach, an intergenerational collaboration between young people and aging populations will be promoted and encouraged by creating a sense of community and responsibility across borders and generations, to induce a greener and more sustainable future for Europe and for all, with a vision aligned with the EU\u2019s Green Deal agenda and priorities. The project aims to 1. Identify needs and requirements for sustainable waste management in EU countries, 2. Use a robust experimental methodology and facilitators in each country to organize challenges, taking into account preferences, ideas, and needs of citizens of different ages and genders and of public authorities, 3. Develop engaging eco-challenges events in 5 different cities, implement a voting process for all, and reward the most engaging \u201ceco-citizens\u201d. 4. Communicate and disseminate achievements and results to all public stakeholders at regional, national, and European levels. Civic engagement will pass through a democratic process respecting EU values and aspiring that the impact will surpass more than 2000 direct participants and 7000 indirect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Related produced documents:<\/i><\/b><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Read the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/connectbrussels.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Eco_Champions_Needs-Analysis-Report_final.docx-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>Gap Identification and Needs Analysis here<\/b><\/span><\/a>!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Partnership :<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">P1.
