The «Do not drink the cup» project has its origin in the crossing of the various diagnostics developed in recent years in order to feed the various territorial contracts such as the Childhood Youth Contract, Local Health Contract, Housing Habitat Plan but also the Natural Hazards Prevention Plan. Thus, the community observes the aging of its population, a low rate of qualification of employment, a seasonality with high economic impact, a youth population prevented in terms of access to education, In the case of leisure activities, distance and mobility are made difficult by the low supply of transport. The island character increases the difficulties of young people to live sustainably in the territory. On the other hand, our territory is particularly exposed to climate risk, some pessimistic projections, estimate that the territory will be partially covered by water by 2050 These findings fuel the desire of local elected officials to encourage the involvement of young people for their territory and to support them in building their future. They have therefore naturally identified themselves through the objective “To promote equity, social cohesion and active citizenship” of the “Education and Training 2020” Framework, which is also in line with the strategic axes chosen by elected officials within the framework of the Local Education Project. The “Do Not Drink the Cup” project was designed to observe and see the impact of climate change on the land but also on the world. Lots of information is disseminated in the media, floods, droughts, forest fires or rising waters, etc. All over the world, young people gather in response to Greta Thunberg’s calls, our young people are sensitive to it but cannot participate because they are too far away from major city centres (La Rochelle, Bordeaux, etc.). During several meetings with high school and college students, we were able to raise our young people’s strong awareness of the climate future but also a discomfort in the face of guilty discourses. One of them said, “We’re tired of having to do things, and the adults are not doing anything.” The project is therefore refined to their contacts and requests. We want to move away from too academic and moralizing sensitizations to adopt a more inclusive approach. It aims to inform itself to understand, to understand to get involved, to get involved to mobilize and act, to make the population react. The project enabled the involvement of young people, openness to others, interculturality and the acquisition of new skills and knowledge through non-formal activities, that is "to develop the social capital of young people, their autonomy and their capacity to participate actively in society". The topic of the climate impact on the territory of Oleronais was addressed through meetings and the participation of young people in an awareness-raising action to enrich the understanding of young people and develop their interest in this subject. The aim was to "strengthen their skills" and engage them towards "active citizenship". Another objective of the project was to get out of the educational and moralizing sensitizations to adopt a more inclusive approach. The various partners have contributed to this objective. Indeed, the local players and sports professionals we worked with were directly involved in the impact of climate on the evolution of the territory. Through practice and exchange they have made young people aware of the protection of local fauna and flora, of a more virtuous use of the ocean and of the retreat of the coast from the collapse of the dune. The involvement of young people in the development of a public awareness action was crucial to strengthen the meaning of this project. The organization of an event at the end of the stay allowed to have a common thread throughout the stay and to value the word of young people.
