[Online Campfire] Youth-led climate action in Europe
11 Octoberat 16:00 - 18:00
Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our generation. Across Europe, young people are not only experiencing its impacts, but are also taking action, developing solutions in their communities, and finding ways to make their voices heard.
In Scouting and Guiding, nature has always been at the heart of our activities, learning and adventures. This gives us a strong starting point to explore what climate action can look like in practice, from understanding climate change and its impacts to gaining practical tools, sharing experiences, developing local initiatives, and making our voices heard through advocacy at the national and European levels.
This session brings young people together to learn from each other, discover practical approaches, share ideas and experiences, and connect with others who are ready to turn their concerns into action.
What to expect?
The webinar will combine short, practical inputs with peer-to-peer exchange. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from others, share your own experience, and leave with ideas and tools you can use in your own work.
- Keynote introduction: A short opening with concrete examples of youth-led climate action and meaningful youth participation across Europe, setting the scene for the session.
- Interactive breakout sessions: Choose from focused workshops and discussions on practical topics such as using educational badges, developing local climate initiatives, and engaging in advocacy at the national and European levels. Exchange experiences, explore tools, and discuss what works in practice.
- Open networking space: Join informal, optional rooms to meet other participants, introduce your project or idea, find potential collaborators, or continue a conversation around a topic you care about.
Who should attend?
This workshop is for Scouts and Guides involved in local groups, regional and national levels across Europe who want to turn their interest in climate action into practical ideas and initiatives.
Whether you’re already running a local climate project, looking for new ways to engage young people, exploring educational challenges and tools, or interested in strengthening youth voice in climate advocacy, you’ll find space to share your experience, learn from others, and take away ideas you can put into practice.
You don’t need to be a climate expert; just bring your experience, questions and ideas.
