E-learning
19 September 2022 | Germany
This interactive webinar provides frameworks around supporting youth in sustainability and climate advocacy; helps guide sustainable project management; and shares best practices for arts-based and entrepreneurship approaches in youth climate work.
YEPP EUROPE is excited to announce a series of three webinars as part of the European Year of Youth (EYY). Each webinar will focus on one of the three main topics of the EYY: Creating a greener, more inclusive and digital Europe. Each interactive webinar session highlights the importance of young people in shaping Europe’s future and provides an opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, and competences relevant to supporting young people in their civic engagement and professional development.
This first webinar, “A Green Europe” (September 19th, 12-1PM CET), will introduce frameworks around sustainability in youth work; provide guidance toward sustainable project management; and share best practices for arts-based and entrepreneurship approaches in youth climate work. The session will include the insight of young Europeans, project leaders and decision-makers actively engaged in climate and sustainability advocacy.
