YEE and Gutta-club would like to invite all interested organisations to apply as partners to the training course "Climate Ambassadors: Youth against plastic".

We would like to organise an international training course for environmental youth organisations. We want to bring together youth workers who want to develop their competences on educating public about plastic pollution and share their previous experience with colleagues from different countries.

Join this project as a partner and together we will develop new educational tools about plastic pollution and overconsumption. You can learn how similar organisations tackle this issue in their work and get to know practical methods to use in your work after this project.

Please, read the full call for partners here.

Every year, YEE Board and Secretariat meet four times to discuss the ongoing issues of the network and set the direction of the work for the next months.

The second meeting of the Board 2017-2018 took place on 14-16 November 2017 in the ecological center Toulcuv Dvur in Prague, Czech Republic. During these three busy days, the Board and Secretariat had time to get closer to each other through some teambuilding activities, to train their communication and public speaking skills thanks to a training lead by Carmine Rodi, and most of all, to discuss many of the key points of the network.
