MindChangers News

Most of us consider December to be a month of beauty, generosity, gifts and harmony: the winter holidays are what make us rethink for a while our relationships with those around us, the world and the beauty we enjoy every day.

As part of the project Youth are shaping the Future, Go Romania (together with other non-governmental organizations and associations) carried out – as part of the Mindchangers project – several non-formal activities and workshops at the Jianca Isalnita greenhouses (Dolj County).

A total of three projects have been financed in the second call for proposal in the Dolj County. The projects leads are three Civil Society Organizations since the call in the Dolj County was restricted to CSOs.

Eleven innovative Mindchangers projects were selected for the year 2023 in Baden-Württemberg. Global partnerships and exchange, with countries such as Argentina and the Democratic Republic of Congo, are the core of our new Mindchangers projects.

Sixteen new projects are ready to take off in Piedmont Region.
The results of the “Youth and Agenda 2030” second call for proposal have been announced in December.

The past year has been rich in events and activities for Mindchangers.

The 2nd Mindchangers call for projects in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes has been supporting 14 projects throughout the region. 

Thanks to the technical and financial support from the EU DEAR Programme and to all regional partners involved in Mindchangers, La Rioja Region (Spain) managed to select 6 proposals led by local associations for a total funding of €115 375.

One of the youth groups participating to the project Le Climat change, et toi?, named “The Christmas tree”, wanted to draw attention to a local problem with serious social, environmental and climatic consequences – the monoculture of Christmas trees in the province of Luxembourg (Belgium).
