According to both, the UN and the EU, climate change is the biggest collective, environmental
challenge society faces today. Notwithstanding, youth and particularly youth from rural areas often
do not have the relevant skills and opportunities to make their voice heard and advocate for a
greener future. Therefore, our project aims at empowering youth, mainly from rural areas in Sweden,
Denmark, Lithuania, Turkey, Jordan, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, and Morrocco to formulate
and communicate their concerns about climate change with decision-makers, and advocate for their
right to a healthy, sustainable and safe environment on an international, national and local level.
Throughout the project, climate change is seen as a challenge that has to be tackled by the international
community and therefore serves as a platform for international exchange and collaboration.
The international training will empower 59 young people, mainly from rural areas in Sweden,
Denmark, Lithuania, Turkey, Jordan, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania and Morrocco, to
advocate their right to a healthy, safe and sustainable environment by using non-formal
learning principles in order to strengthen their advocacy and debating skills.
Moreover, climate change as a global issue with severe local effects will serve as a platform
to promote intercultural exchange and dialogue among youth from Sweden, Denmark,
Lithuania, Turkey, Jordan, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, and Morrocco The common
development of a youth manifesto raising concerns and wishes of the participating youth
regarding climate change will be a main output of the training.
