The C.A.R.E. project aims to consolidate and disseminate effective, replicable models of youth participation, specifically targeting peripheral areas where young people often lack structured opportunities for engagement. By transforming the abstract concept of "environmentalism" into concrete "care" for the territory, we aim to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Our specific objectives are: •To promote deep awareness of climate change and pollution through practical, proximity-based approaches, fostering the understanding that caring for the environment is intrinsically linked to caring for the community. • To transform young people from passive observers into active protagonists of change, strengthening their sense of belonging and ability to influence decision-making. •To equip participants with transversal skills such as leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving. Aligned with EU Youth Goals #9 and #10, C.A.R.E. strives to create inclusive spaces and sustainable behaviors
