Is young climate activism changing the way societies understand youth participation? What role do youth work and youth policy play in supporting new forms of youth engagement, such as young climate activism?
This event invites participants to explore new forms of youth engagement and the ways in which youth work can support them to be meaningful and impactful. Short presentations from different actors, such as young climate activists themselves, European project leaders, and representatives from policy and research, will stimulate discussion among and between speakers and participants. The interactive discussion will focus on several questions and take into account the interests of the participants:
- What role do youth work and youth policy play in supporting new forms of youth engagement, such as young climate activism?
- How can youth work practices support young climate activists and their efforts for policy change? What makes such youth work practices meaningful and effective in this context?
- Is youth engagement in climate activism different from other forms of engagement, and respectively does it need a different kind of support from youth work?
The aim of the event is to provide a space for dialogue and discussion on the topic and to stimulate further reflection for and in the field of youth work.
