E-Juniors association
The objective of E-Juniors is to offer young people - particularly those who are e-excluded - opportunities to learn new technologies (electronic, computer and multimedia) by proposing activities in addition to formal scholastic offerings. These activities aim to promote the creative and constructive use of free time, study new applicable areas of interest, inspire creativity and enhance vocational skills. E-Juniors has been involved in several LLP (Erasmus+) projects, performing different tasks, such as the collection of best practices, researches, and studies on the specific issues of the projects. In addition, thanks to a wide local network, E-Juniors is able to involve specific target groups in the projects. The association is also expert in carrying out dissemination and evaluation activities. By participating in PLANet B, E-Juniors will raise awareness about ecological issues among French youth.

Rightchallenge
The Rightchallenge Association is a youth non-governmental organisation which aims at the promotion of education and training as a means of social inclusion and equal opportunities. Rightchallenge strives to promote values, change attitudes and behaviour towards the environment, in order to prepare people to exercise conscious, dynamic and informed citizenship in the face of current environmental issues. We work closely with local and regional associative movements, environmental NGOs, and municipalities in order to promote awareness-raising for sustainable development. We also implement environmental volunteering projects aiming to promote nature conservation, biodiversity, and environmental protection activities in the north region of Portugal, while encourage young people to develop innovative ideas that respect environmental values and uphold principles of nature conservation. For that reason, we develop a series of initiatives mainly related to the promotion of recycling behaviours and respect of the Portuguese biodiversity and the nature-protected areas.

The Rural Hub
The Rural Hub was set up as an association by a group of education, training, and rural development professionals as a response to the impact of the economic crisis on small rural villages and towns in Ireland. Since it was first established in 2012, The Rural Hub has been providing a wide range of training and capacity development programmes to local residents and community groups. We specialise in the area of community development and have developed a number of local initiatives to support the social inclusion of disadvantaged rural youth, migrant communities and isolated older residents. We work with these groups, using creative approaches and the testing of digital media resources to support greater social cohesion among local communities in County Cavan. We have a developed network of county-wide stakeholders who support our work on a thematic basis. Our company produces a free community newspaper in which we regularly promote sustainable living and climate change initiatives. We are currently participating in The Family Circle Erasmus+ project which aims to raise awareness and increase the understanding of the circular economy among local families. We are thrilled to begin working with our local young people on the issue of climate change through PLANet B project.
