"Get involved for a clean community!" was a youth exchange that we organized together with our partners, as this topic not only affected the youth but all of us, making it extremely important to act for a better future, especially to ensure a clean future for the next generation. Recently, high temperatures and extreme weather events occurred, such as heatwaves, storms, and floods, most of which were caused by climate change. Around the world, people became more familiar with the term "climate change," and the idea of acting needed to be deeply embedded in the conscience of each individual, starting with the youngest members of society. We worked with some severely disadvantaged communities where young people's priorities were not to save the environment but to survive another day, ensuring they had food, shelter, health, and the support of their families. Other young people in these communities, the more "fortunate" ones, had different interests, such as building social profiles, socializing, and gaining popularity, with climate change being far from their top priorities. We recognized the need to develop knowledge and create green skills among our young people to create a snowball effect that would grow with each activity related to the topic that we organized. Our partners were already involved in environmental protection activities and recycling workshops, so they fully understood the need to reach more and more young people when it came to education about how to protect our planet. We also had statistics that proved this was an important topic to address so that young people could better understand and start engaging in activities to combat climate change in their communities. In this context, through U-Report, the Children's Board, with the support of the UNICEF team in Romania, launched a questionnaire on the effect of climate change on the lives of children and young people in our country. More than 1,500 children and young people from across the country answered this questionnaire, most of them between the ages of 15 and 19 (71%). The majority of respondents (80%) were concerned about climate change, while only 11% did not consider climate change an important enough topic. The remaining 9% had not yet formed an opinion on this topic. Additionally, 88% of children and young people believed that climate change and its consequences affected their lives. When asked whether they believed climate change would affect their lives in the future, 86% of respondents said yes, while only 5% said no. 9% of the young people surveyed were unsure. The main lines of action identified by 70% of the children and young people participating in the questionnaire included solutions based on nature, the use of energy from renewable sources, reducing the use of fuels, education of young people and children, as well as that of adults, and recycling, alongside sustainable investments in new technologies. The aim of our project was to raise awareness about climate change and the importance of community action in combating this phenomenon, organizing awareness campaigns, and learning how to recycle and reuse different types of waste for a clean community. The main objectives of the project were: - to develop the knowledge about climate change and ways to combat it for 36 participants from 6 countries, during the youth exchange; - to develop the skills and competences needed by the 36 young people, from 6 countries, to organize awareness campaigns about climate change in their communities, online and offline; - to develop knowledge and skills for 36 young participants from 6 countries to organize recycling and reusing workshops in their communities, after the youth exchange; - to develop digital skills for 36 young people coming from 6 countries, in all stages of the project, by learning how to use online tools to communicate and multiply information about climate change. The UN Climate Action department stated that: "Young people’s unprecedented mobilization around the world showed the massive power they possessed to hold decision-makers accountable. Their message was clear: the older generation had failed, and it was the young who would pay in full—with their very futures. Young people were not only victims of climate change. They were also valuable contributors to climate action. They were agents of change, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Whether through education, science, or technology, young people were scaling up their efforts and using their skills to accelerate climate action." In September 2019, millions of young people from over 140 countries protested for immediate action on combating climate change, demonstrating that youth were interested and just needed proper guidance. Participants in this project designed an awareness campaign and recycling activities that reached other disadvantaged young people from the participating countries.
