Project description:

During the study session we discussed about environmental law and youth participation. We got to know existing European environmental laws and how young people can use them for protecting environment. Several different topics were addressed during the event - e.g. climate change, biodiversity, nature protection, human right for clean environment. Strong emphasize was also put on young organizations' involvement in decision making process. Youth active in environmental protection discovered together and raised awareness on the necessary knowledge and tools to actively advocate for their rights and involvement in process of creating, implementation and intervention in the field of environmental law.

Participants of the project were able to:

  • raise awareness on human rights connected with the environment
  • increase youth participation in environmental law creating and implementation process
  • improve skills on making advocacy on local level in the field of environmental protection

Aim and objectives:
