▶Objectives
The GenGreen project aims to empower youth in climate change advocacy, emphasizing active citizenship, leadership, and environmental awareness in local associations. It connects environmental consciousness with skills for voicing the needs of young generations, fostering strategic cooperation between youth organisations, climate change experts and sports associations. The project will increase the quality of youth engagement and joint efforts in fighting climate change.
▶Activities
The GenGreen project will focus on empowering local associations to adapt and implement educational activities on the topic of fighting climate change and carrying out initiatives designed and implemented together with youth in their local settings to incorporate sustainability solutions into the work of the associations. The project will also include a Youth Gathering in Denmark and replicating efforts for further uptake in broader organisations.
▶Impact
The project aims to educate, empower and support youth to carry out initiatives in their local settings to fight climate change, get international experience together with their peers and make tangible changes themselves. Furthermore, it will improve the quality of work both in terms of youth engagement and climate change in the involved organisations and further raise awareness of the intersection themes of youth, associations and climate change advocacy.
