Abstract
This works sets out to analyse the potential of International Cooperation programmes as regards Environmental education. In this respect, we shall present a case-based study centred on the programme Young Volunteers with Latin America (JVCAL). We shall group together information about the perceptions and opinions on this initiative. The sample group was made up of nineteen participants between the ages of 22 and 38 years, all of whom answered our on-line questionnaire. So as to elaborate upon the given answers, four of these were also interviewed. The results show a positive outcome as regards the problem of the environment due to the participation in the programme. We conclude that the programme JVCAL has met its objectives and this reinforces the idea that these types of cooperation projects are a fundamental tool towards a social change as regards sustainability.
