The topic addressed and activities designed to make the project have a local, national, and EU impact, specifically in bringing EU practices in WB.
ABOUT “YOUTH EXCHANGE”
The goal of this Youth Exchange is to explore ways to teach the tools learned from previous Training of Trainers (ToTs) and expand climate change education for more young people in the Western Balkans. During the exchange, participants will share their experiences, creating inspiring outcomes to showcase the achievements from the earlier ToTs. They’ll put their climate change education skills into practice, dive into public attitudes on the topic, and hold a public panel discussion. Participants will also discover various online and offline tools for running successful climate change campaigns. Beyond that, they’ll share their knowledge on environmental issues, prepare a public performance using hands-on methods to raise awareness about climate change, and learn how to respond. Additionally, they’ll receive training on environmental elements and the latest technology for spreading awareness.
PARTICIPANTS PROFILE
The participant profile for this Youth Exchange is aimed at individuals aged 18 and above with a strong interest in climate change and environmental issues. Participants should be motivated to learn about climate change education, develop practical skills, and engage in discussions and collaborative activities. While prior experience in climate activism is not required, participants should be open to sharing their experiences and participating in public events, such as panel discussions and performances. Additionally, they will explore various online and offline tools for effective climate change awareness campaigns. A willingness to contribute to local communities and support climate action in the Western Balkans is essential.
