Climate change is one of the most threatening issues in today’s world and it is clearly one of the greatest destabilising forces which can cripple the global economy, it's harming human health and leads to a huge damage to the planet. Despite the world's growing interest, more education and advocacy campaigns on the topic, there is still the need to debate and bring knowledge to the communities, since it seems easier advocating than being the change. Nowadays we eat rice from across the globe that is 50 cents cheaper than rice produced within the EU, own things that are cheaper to discard than to cherish and maintain and advocate fair-trade products, but feed a system that creates quality of life for a small percentage of the world’s population. The current social-economic model, with focus on growth and competition, raises questions about sustainability, environmental impact and over consumption. The desire to implement "DIY for Sustainable Living" emerged from the reality that reflects the different ways that we are breaking the limits of survival and, as young people, we aim to explore the current unsustainable tendencies, challenges and alternatives. “DIY for Sustainable Living” had as its main goal to create change-makers. The structure “Reality Check > Reflection > Action” allowed us to explore the situation and problems we face, by sharing our knowledge about climate change, circular economy, environmental protection and prevention. The brainstorming sessions allowed us to become more critical about climate issues while finding sustainable solutions. The action phase started during the Youth Exchange, because before influencing others it is important to implement sustainable behaviours in our own lives, so a zero-waste ideology was put into practice during the activity, such as buying national produce, avoiding waste and the use of sustainable products. As a group, we already had multiple solutions in place that we have adopted during our journey towards a sustainable lifestyle, therefore through practical workshops, based on a problem solving approach, we have used the concept of Reduce-Reuse-Recycle to find simple behaviours that lead to environmentally conscious choices. Overall our goal was to promote simple and accessible changes that everyone can implement in their lives and motivate others after the Youth Exchange. - We can only change behaviours one person at a time! Overall, we have a strong voice as consumers and we realise the importance of not contributing towards the maintenance of an unfair and non-sustainable production chain that only considers basic human rights in the West. In this case, we need to reinforce and explore how to be an activist in the different spheres of our life, from our personal lives to being active in advocacy campaigns. Taking part in this Youth Exchange allowed our group to search for innovative solutions, which will developed our self- esteem and created a sense of initiative to become more active citizen from the moment we refuse to purchase from a certain brand to the moment we vote for the political party which tackle environmental challenges. We are the change-makers of today.
