Study Visit : Sustainable and creative green models involving young people

In the context of climate challenges and environmental degradation, intitiatives are born and demonstrate a lot of creativity and opportunities for young people to participate, learn and eventually also be creative or even find jobs in this sector.

We would like to invite you to come, see and discuss these initiatives, but also have a look at what is going on in your countries and have a broader view of what is possible to adapt or not.

And we hope that from here, new international collaboration projects can be set up…
