About the project
Have you ever wondered how climate change is tackled in different corners of the world? Through the „Don’t look away” (a pun for the „Don’t look up” movie), we aim to create a simulation through which participants will step into the roles of decision-makers in order to address urgent climate challenges across three fictional countries, each representing a different type of environment and facing distinct climate risks—from rising sea levels and extreme droughts to industrial pol lution and deforestation.
What to expect:
analyzing complex scenarios, debating sustainable solutions, and making difficult decisions that influence the future of your assigned regions. We aim for participants to balance environmental impact, economic realities, and social equity while also taking into consideration national interests and global responsibilities. Throughout the process, the participants will be guided through key concepts of environmental sustainability and climate risk management. They will strengthen their understanding of how climate change affects diverse regions differently and explore the importance of cooperation and informed decision-making. In addition to gaining a strong foundation in environmental knowledge, we will support participants to develop the 8 key competencies through developing teamwork, negotiation, leadership, and strategic thinking.
Youth exchange is for everybody who is interested in the topic, want to travel, learn and meet new people and cultures from the age of 16 – 25. Leader can be older than that.
Participants will be from more countries of Europe. There will be 5 participants from each country.
Accommodation HERE and food will be provided and financed from the Erasmus + program during the whole project. Travel will be reimbursed up to 309 euro. Detailed information regarding financial procedures are written in FAQ and will be further explained with selected participants.
