Students are leading CHANGE across Europe!
The CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT report showcases student-led actions to inspire others to join in raising-awareness on Environmental Change and Migration.
It is also aimed at teachers and schools interested in fostering social engagement in their classrooms by providing lessons learnt and best practices that can be replicated.
The report offers a window into the vibrant movement driven by young people and encourages stakeholders and policymakers to reflect on how to best empower by providing them with the necessary support and resources to become voices for change.
Let’s create together pathways for young people to lead the way in building a sustainable and equitable future for all!
