“YouAct!” project aims to stimulate awareness among young people on the need to urgently address climate change, highlighting the close connection with migration phenomena. Young people belonging to the Turin-based Fridays for Future group will be involved in the production of a 9-episode news program (A 1.1) in which they will dialogue with the other nodes of FFF’s global network in the countries where MAIS and RENKEN run cooperation projects. The episodes will constitute an information product to reach out particularly to schools, involved in informal education initiatives and youth groups (A 1.2). Action 2.1 will contribute to training FFF youth on SDGs, while A 2.2 will see the implementation of an international exchange at the Nioko Bokk ecovillage (Senegal), during which a group of youth from FFF’s Turin node will have the opportunity to engage with youth from the Senegalese node. Action 2.3 will involve youth in planning an event within the CreativAfrica 2023 festival.
The project is coordinated by MAIS
