Climate change threatens the future of all young people worldwide, but the effects are and will be felt differently in different regions. The social discourse on sustainability and climate protection is also conducted differently in different countries. The cooperation of organisations from 4 different countries shows the participants the complexity, the interdependencies and the global nature of the topic. Recognising this is an important step in promoting climate protection globally and sustainably. Climate change, environmental protection and sustainable action are major issues that concern young people. Youth exchanges should address young people's willingness to act as well as their individual perspectives, and also address overall socio-political perspectives. Climate change is becoming a major challenge for future generations worldwide and can only be tackled globally. Therefore, the project aims to promote transnational dialogue on impacts and to generate political and individual action plans. The fact that these issues are of particular concern to young people is shown both by the discussions in the Erasmus+ project "BJaOG - Contribution of Youth Work to an Open Society" (www.salzburg.gv.at/bjog) and the focus of MIKADO Environment, where young people are committed to sustainability and environmental protection issues. For example, young people increasingly advocate vegetarian food, sustainable clothing purchases, waste separation and the use of public transport. Morocco, on the other hand, is considered a climate pioneer (7th place in the Climate Change Performance Index 2020). Since 2008, there has been the so-called Green Morocco Plan (A Focus on Green Growth: the Green Morocco Plan, African Development Bank - Building today, a better Africa tomorrow (afdb.org), which provides for a sustainability strategy for 12 years. For example, the government is increasingly focusing on solar energy, the conservation of water resources and the promotion of new technologies. The project "Intercultural Youth Exchange: Global youth lab - climate on stage" aims to bring together views and actions, to address global and regional impacts as well as possible solutions and to create an exchange between young people. How do young people in Morocco live environmental protection? What ideas can young people take back to Europe? What opportunities are there for young people in the participating countries to do more lobbying? What are the differences in coping with climate change and what does it mean for young people? Do new technologies offer perspectives to stay in the respective country, the respective region? Or are young people so massively affected that they are more likely to migrate? What does this mean for the respective region? And how can young people make their voices heard? As has been shown in various exchange projects, young people find a common language in cultural forms of expression such as music and dance. They are carriers of information and emotion at the same time and are therefore particularly suitable for communication on topics that contain great social explosive power. All the more so when project participants do not have the same first language. Therefore, the questions raised are discussed and worked out on site and answers, demands, emotions,... of all participating young people are realised in an artistic way (analogue or digital) and brought on stage or to the public. This will take place in the form of prepared and accompanied creative workshops in Morocco, together with the Moroccan young people. Excursions round off the programme for the young people. The project also envisages a return visit of the Moroccan young people to the European project regions. Here the Moroccan young people will get to know the culture, the country and the people and the questions will be taken up and worked on again. Excursions to e.g. waste collection centres or renaturation projects are part of the visit. The project is built on existing experiences and existing networks. Through the learning mobility of the young people and the respective reports in their own home country, youth workers can receive impulses for their own work. The experiences, emotions, demands,... of all participants will be shared with (political) decision makers at an artistic event after the trip. This is the conclusion of the project and at the same time the prelude to further networking and sustainable action of all participants in the project. Informal learning, sensitization, strengthening of one's own concerns for environmental protection as well as a transfer of knowledge based on experiences, emotions and friendship - in the form of exchange and counterexchange - will take place.
