Youth Eco-Activism in the EU

<< Objectives >>YEAEU’s project objectives are to raise awareness of the climate crisis among young people and provide them with tools to take the initiative and be actively involved in the solutions of these issues at local, national and European levels. The project aims to guide young people toward creating their own social enterprises focused on addressing climate change and encouraging more young people in climate action through youth-led activism.<< Implementation >>The project includes 4 work packages focused on online eco-activism, creating channels for political engagement, the creation of climate-focused, youth-led NGOs and a platform to be used by youth organisations and stakeholders at a local to EU level. There are 2 TPMs, 1 virtual TPM and 2 LTTAs that will be carried out in order to support the development of the work packages and increase cross-border cooperation, with multiplier events held in each country to widen the project’s impact.<< Results >>YEAEU will increase youth engagement in learning and eco-activism while increasing access to quality learning opportunities and supporting youth workers in providing them. It will introduce eco-activism to youth organisations, engage young people to become climate activists and provide a hub for climate actions. YEAEU’s tangible results will include toolkits and guides to eco-activism and political participation and a platform enabling young people to establish their youth-led NGOs.
