ASI Project Story
ASI is a project in which 6 partner organisations from 5 countries (South Korea, Thailand, Nepal, Italy and Romania) and 2 continents work together to join young people, youth workers, entrepreneurs and good wizards (social innovators) in order to learn from each other, to create learning tools and to use these tools in order to promote Social Innovation and Circular Economy as a mean for inclusion, active citizenship and solidarity, employability and entrepreneurship among youth with fewer opportunities in disadvantaged rural communities in Europe and Asia.
Funded through the Erasmus+ programme the “ASI” – “Art of Sustainable Innovation” project is primarily focusing its aim at deploying Social Innovation and Circular Economy as a mean for inclusion, active citizenship and solidarity, employability and entrepreneurship among youth with fewer opportunities in disadvantaged rural communities in Europe and Asia.
By this we are promoting and reinforcing the connection between Youth NGOs, youth operators and local stakeholders in the field of Social Innovation & Circular Economy around developing tools and skills that are aimed to guide youth at using the local resources, sustainability, an finally develop social enterprises that are answering needs in their communities.

Sustainable Shaun Game Play this game and help design a more sustainably city.
This game, designed by the Sustainable Learning team in the UK and created by Aardman, is free to play and challenges young people to build their own sustainable city by balancing five themes: food, nature, energy, transport and resources, whilst inspiring children to think about green issues.
The game has now been translated into all EU languages and developed in 28 Member State versions by the European Commission as part of their promotion of more environmentally sustainable cities and their European Green Capital Award.
