MINDCHANGERS is a European project founded on cooperation to support Local Authorities and NGOs to engage youth on the topics of migrations and climate change. Through this newsletter you’ll discover more about the topics, Mindchangers-funded local projects, interesting news and much more!
_Projects
Permacham is a project by Maison Verte et Bleue and Cultureghem, sub-grantees of Mindchangers’ Belgian partner Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
The project aims to bring together in the same vegetable garden different groups of young people from the Brussels Region, in order to transmit their knowledge and skills on sustainable food.
_Focus On
1. The DEAR Learning and Development Hub
At the end of March Béatrice, Giulia and Nicola, members of Mindchangers staff, along with Amina and Chiara, young Mindchangers supporters, participated in the DEAR Learning and Development Hub focusing on “Youth Engagement and Peer Learning”. They worked with the representatives of other DEAR-funded projects to explore the role of young people as peer learners and educators, changemakers and active citizens at various levels. More insights in the next issue of the newsletter!
