PIEMONTE

Bormida Valley is a territory that winds and generates along a river. A river that has often had a tragic past, that is now facing a present of renaturalisation and diversity and a future that has to be written/ and a future to write:  Attraverso LaBormida (Through LaBormida: Ecosystems and Changes along the River).  A project of juvenile involvement/participation, care/attention, research and restitution, workshops and paths, proposals and strategies. An active project on environmental awareness, on taking care of the territory and on proposing sustainable development strategies starting from the ecological infrastructure. The proposal looks at the Bormida Valley and the territory of the 9 Municipalities included by the stretch of river that goes from Saliceto to Cortemilia in order to carry out four activities that can encourage the participation of young people and the entire community, promoting awareness and the commitment on the issues of climate change, as well as involving all stakeholders interested in the initiative.

The project aims to raise awareness among young people on climate change issues, addressing its causes and risks. The name chosen demonstrates that the goal is to supply “weapons”— i.e. tools — to take up the fight against climate change. The project begins as a game and moves toward the civic and political activation of young people. Symbolically, with events and flash mobs, we arm young people with “seed bombs” to be thrown onto land or boxes designed to thicken urban vegetation and increase pollination by bees. In addition, young people will take part in a giant parlor game aimed at protecting planetary biodiversity. Finally, the photo exhibit and the reportage made in Senegal will present scientific information on the impacts of climate change on the Earth and highlight the interconnections between the global North and South and the relationship between climate change and increasing malnutrition.

Circular Neighborhood – Young protagonists of change, activates a twin path that encourages comparison and exchange between young Italian and Senegalese eco-citizens, who live in the peripheral areas of the cities of Turin and Mbao, south of Dakar. The young people become protagonists in their neighborhood, multipliers and innovators of actions for climate and sustainability. They meet with political decision-makers with whom they can initiate a dialogue by submitting concrete proposals for the sustainability of their neighborhood. They analyze their territory, design and disseminate tokenization mechanisms to help citizens orient themselves towards sustainable consumption choices. Between Turin and Mbao, young people play a fundamental role for change, contributing to the transition towards a “new global humanism”. Learn more about the organization online: LVIA

FÉDÉRATION WALLONIE-BRUXELLES

A project run by Centre culturel Wolubilis and Modul. 

“Rare birds” is an invitation sent to Brussels teenagers, including “Unaccompanied Foreign Minors”, to create a theatrical project that will pay homage to the beauty, vitality and incredible roots at the origin of every story; to question their need and capacity to fly away and rediscover enchantment; to become the actors of their own metamorphosis, a mirror of a possible metamorphosis of the world; to reveal the “rare birds” that they are.

Accompanied by four professional performers, a composer, a costume designer, a choreographer and a sound engineer, they will be invited to use various media and artistic techniques to weave narrative kaleidoscopes that speak of real or imaginary birds, of migrations, of songs, of rebirth and ingenuity.

A project run by Maison verte et Bleue and Cultureghem.

The project wants to bring together different groups of young people from the Brussels Region in the same vegetable garden, in order to pass on knowledge and skills on sustainable food, from a practical and local perspective (permaculture gardening techniques), but also from a theoretical and global perspective (looking at the challenges of sustainable food on a global scale).

By relying on the tools and philosophy of permaculture to build group dynamics, the project wants to transmit civic values to the youth: respect for others, learning to work together despite differences, understanding the strengths of each person and making the most of them, finding local solutions to global changes, developing a critical analysis of the challenges of sustainable food on a local and global scale.

A project run by Promotion & Culture and AMO Droit des jeunes.

Initially, Friskot is a “kot-à-projet” (Belgian student housing revolving around specific activities) in which 8 students from different countries live, and whose main project is the provision of a solidarity fridge. 

Anyone can come and bring or look for food free of charge and without any conditions, during the opening hours.

Today, the project goes further and wishes to impulse a real dynamic in the neighbourhood where it is located, while creating synergies between different associations in Liège, and also by creating a real meeting place for people who would not have met otherwise.

The project is therefore now part of a solidarity grocery shop design centred on a system of donation and redistribution of food and non-food products.

It aims to be a place of exchange for both material and intangible donations, of creation of social links where activities around themes related to solidarity and the fight against food waste would be organised.

Yes Green (Youth Entrepreneurship Skills Green) - a project by Comunitati Pentru Tineret

The promotion of students’ pro-environmental entrepreneurial behaviour is an important aspect in the context of the future ecological transition of European countries and, in particular, of Romania. 

The importance of this shift towards sustainable development and green business has been recognised by the European Green Deal Strategy and the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

Investing in human capital development through education and training requires stimulating society’s capacity to respond rapidly to changes in society and the labour market.

In this context, we propose to develop general awareness raising campaigns to promote youth green entrepreneurship in 15 local partners in Craiova and Bailesti as a source of future employability. 

As an output of the awareness raising campaigns we will implement 3 non-formal education workshops per school outside the formal education system and as an extracurricular activity after class, which will result in 45 workshops over the course of 10 months (running 4/5 workshops per month) involving at least 12 young people per workshop, 36 participant per school. 

These workshops will increase skills and knowledge of 540 youths in green entrepreneurship, reflected in 3 business ideas per workshop, 150 in total. 

In addition, the outcomes will allow us to develop a brochure that will be disseminated among our local and international stakeholders and social networks, and presented at the final awareness raising event, which will involve 150 participants from the local community, local public authorities and local press, multiplying the impact of the project outcomes.
