The project
The project “Engaging Youth in Digital Green Future 2.0 ” emerged in response to the pressing need to educate and engage young people in the key policy debates around the European Green Deal and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
By facilitating discussions, participation days and teacher training, our project aims to empower young people to understand, engage and contribute to global sustainability efforts. Aligned with the objectives of the European Youth Strategy and the overarching goals of the call, our project brings a multifaceted approach to youth empowerment and environmental transition. By engaging young people in policy discussions and local initiatives related to the European Green Deal, our project aims to foster a sense of connection and responsibility among youth, contributing to the goal of connecting the EU with its younger citizens.

Hopefully, this crisis helps to make an accurate diagnosis of the failures of the system to be able to renew its pillars overcoming those deficiencies. Renovation that will have to be part of a determined and firm commitment to the ecological transition. Furthermore, the fundamental objective should be to make the European Green Pact the framework for exiting the crisis, incorporating the lessons we are learning. Concern for environmental issues has been growing in the European Union in recent years The EU has placed climate change high on its political agenda with the European Green Deal, presented in December 2019 by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Its main objectives are to ensure that Europe becomes the first climate-neutral continent in the world by 2050, achieving a sustainable economy where greenhouse gas emissions stop in 2050, that economic growth is decoupled from use of resources, and no people or places are left behind. Some factors that explain the low presence of youth issues on the political agenda are their limited participation in electoral processes and their reduced influence on political and economic decision-making bodies.
The main objective of this project is to support the role of youth in European policies, society and democracy through the integration and reinforcement of their participation and contribution to the European Green Deal objectives.
