This Training for Trainers will focus on environmental decision-making & local participation with a special focus on young people from rural areas, minorities and vulnerable groups. The program will be based on non-formal education and intercultural learning principles. We strive for active, inclusive and direct communication and transfer and sharing of knowledge. Sessions will be balanced between theoretical inputs, training, workshops, discussions, reflection, planning, brainstorming and other interactive methods of learning. We believe that the representation of diverse voices in the environmental youth movement is the key to good policy making. (Under)representation of young people from rural communities, minorities and vulnerable groups affects the design, implementation and effectiveness of policies. Facing the climate emergency, we want to make sure that those who feel its consequences the most have space in decision-making and know that their voice matters. With this project, we want to engage with young people locally, while empowering and connecting youth internationally.

Practical information
Climate change is one of the most fundamental problems of humanity and international climate negotiations and lawsuits against governments and companies for their climate policies are taking place more frequently than ever. But are we able to follow them? As knowledge is power, our environmental law team is hosting a series of 4 workshops during June and July to empower young people to become more involved in the international and European climate regime and provide them with the knowledge needed and bring them in contact with experts working on the field. The workshops will cover topics of fundamental international environmental law, public participation & environmental impact assessment as well as different angles of climate litigation and its current developments. Certificates will be given to the participants who attend 75% of the workshops (minimum 3 out of 4). We aim to build capacity on the basic knowledge of international environmental law and include young people with no legal background in the climate movement. Through our 3rd workshop, we aim to provide a better understanding of public climate litigation having as guest speaker Filippo Fantozzi, Legal Associate in the Climate Litigation Network of Urgenda. Urgenda is one of the most widely discussed climate litigation cases against States. Through this workshop, participants will learn more about climate lawsuits against public actors from an expert, who is involved in one of the most influential cases of the climate litigation movement. The 3rd workshop is going to take place online on the 4th of July at 16.30. When?4th of July at 16.30 CET Where? Online, from your home via Zoom – the link will be communicated upon registration How?
