SUMMARY:[Online Campfire] Youth-led climate action in Europe
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\n\n\nWhat to expect?\n\nThe 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.\n\nKeynote introduction: A short opening with concrete examples of youth-led climate action and meaningful youth participation across Europe\, setting the scene for the session.\nInteractive 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.\nOpen 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.\n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\nThis 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.\nWhether 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.\n\nYou don’t need to be a climate expert; just bring your experience\, questions and ideas.\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\nTo register for the webinar\, follow this link.\nAfter you register\, you will receive a meeting link.\n\nDidn’t receive the link? If you do not receive a confirmation email by the first week of October\, please contact Eva Bolha\, Senior Manager\, Strategic Coordination & Organisational Development\, at eva.bolha@scout.org.

SUMMARY:The Scout and Guide Academy 2026
DESCRIPTION:What is The Academy? \n\nThe Academy is a unique Scout and Guide event that brings together young leaders from across Europe for high-quality training and networking\, focusing on the core priorities of the WOSM and WAGGGS European Regions.  \nThe 2026 edition will blend traditional training with dynamic non-formal learning opportunities. Delivered by over 20 expert facilitators\, it will welcome nearly 200 Scouts and Guides eager to learn\, connect\, and act.  \nThe Academy 2026 is where volunteers and leaders from across Europe come together to build more inclusive\, more resilient\, and more innovative movements – and carry that change home.  \n  \n\nSymbolic Framework \n\nIn times of uncertainty\, it is more important than ever that we celebrate and learn from our differences and continue to join efforts to create a better\, brighter future. This is why the symbolic framework of the Academy 2026 is colours. We invite individuals to understand themselves as unique parts of solutions\, to then take the next step with others towards new ideas and opportunities for positive change\, much like mixing the primary colours creates entirely new and beautiful colours. Unity\, Resilience and Innovation will be the primary colours of our programme\, which we will discover\, use and mix together to gain new knowledge and skills to build a better\, brighter future.  \n \n\nDates and venue \n\nThe Academy will take place at the Heibrand Chirohuis in Westmalle\, Belgium.
