SOSTENIBILITÀ

ACTIVITIES
Development of training courses on Global Citizenship Education for young people, activists, educators, and teachers, with the aim of creating a favorable environment for the inclusion and activation of marginalized youth groups.Through engagement, empowerment, and co-creation activities (including a digital campaign), the young people involved will be able to become agents of change to combat inequalities at the local and global levels.
Exchange meetings and co-design discussions with local and national institutions will be held, fostering discussion and advocacy for the dissemination and implementation of Global Citizenship Education within the non-formal education programs of educational communities. This process will culminate in international exchanges with European institutions.
Creative activities, training courses, and a digital campaign will tell the stories of young activists, women, and girls. Engaging young women and girls , often excluded from participatory and democratic planning processes, aims to foster a more inclusive environment in which they can challenge themselves and increase their civic engagement.
