With this youth exchange we want to empower young people from 18-26 years to understand climate change and to feel able to act in their everyday lives and communities. Many young people feel overwhelmed by complex and polarised climate debates, and they often lack practical tools to communicate in a motivating way. In youth work practice, we address this by creating a safe, non-formal, learning-by-doing space where participants explore climate topics (food, mobility, energy, consumption), reflect on their own experiences, and turn what they learn into creative stories that can inspire others. This directly supports several European Youth Goals, especially Nr. 3 Inclusive Societies Nr. 4 Information & Constructive Dialogue, Nr. 8 Quality Learning, Nr. 9 Space and Participation for All, Nr. 10 Sustainable Green Europe and Nr. 11 Connecting EU with Youth. It also contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 13 Climate Action, SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 4 Quality Education and SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals. Objectives: - Help participants understand the climate crisis, its main causes, and its local, European and global dimensions - Support participants to reflect on their own behaviour and try out more sustainable practices in everyday life (e.g., food, mobility, energy use, consumption) - Strengthen critical thinking, media awareness, and the ability to engage with social and political debates on climate and sustainability in a respectful, fact-based way (including dialogue across different views) - Develop storytelling and creative communication skills (voice, body, images, video, audio) so participants can explain climate-related topics in a clear, personal and engaging way - Increase self-confidence, participation, teamwork and intercultural cooperation through mixed international group work and shared responsibility in the programme - Enable participants to create and share concrete outputs (climate stories in different formats) and connect with local initiatives, so learning continues beyond the exchange By combining climate education with storytelling, the project builds competences that are central to quality youth work: participation, peer learning, inclusion, intercultural learning and active citizenship. The participant-created stories and the final sharing moment make the learning visible and useful for peers and local communities and encourage continued engagement after the mobility.
