The Training Course 'Youth Participation for Environment' was especially designed for youth leaders in YEE's member organisations. It took place 13 - 19 July 2013 in Svycarna Eco Centre, Czech Republic.

The course focused on methods that motivate young people to participate in environmental actions. The participants were trained in how to attract youth to their organsiations by appealing to the needs of their target groups. They shared ideas on how to increase the visibility of their projects and inspire greater action to protect the environment.

The programme included practical examples and group work to ensure participants practiced techniques. A dedicated session about funding opportunities informed participants about financial and logistical possibilities.

It was also an excellent opportunity for the YEE secretariat to discover the current needs of its member organisations.
