Call for Organisational training

We believe that the representation of diverse voices in the environmental youth movement is the key to good policymaking. (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.

Online Training to Central and Eastern Europe (youth-led NGOs or youth groups in Central and Eastern Europe with priority towards Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania) with access to a facility/venue to work with marginalised youth on the local level; already working with marginalized communities with limited capacity/knowledge, or with a strategy/ strong vision for working with marginalized communities, able to assign at least one employee/volunteer to participate in the training course and lead the sub-granted project.

This training is for you if:

🟡 You are between the ages of 16 – 30

🟡 Your organisation is from Central or Eastern Europe
🟡  You want to extend your capacity in terms of working with marginalised communities
🟡  You believe in diversity and inclusion and you would like to do something to make your local community more inclusive and environmentally aware.

🟡  You are already working or plan to work with marginalised communities and are searching for support or guidance in your efforts.

At the training, you will:

🟣 Discuss the different types of disadvantaged communities present in our local regions that can be target groups for future projects and cooperation

🟣 Work together to understand how to better integrate disadvantaged communities in the decision making process of projects as well as how to shape projects and events around their needs

🟣 Develop your understanding of the importance of integration and environmental activism

We created this guide to help young people and youth organizations learn about grassroots movements. Inside, you’ll find historical examples and tips on how to start your own movement, turning local issues into global ones. We believe everyone has the power to create change.

We hope this publication will be a valuable resource for you, whether you’re looking to start your own grassroots movement or support an existing one. Whether you’re an individual or part of a youth organisation, you can help make a bigger impact and change the way things are done.

Uniting Youth for Ecotourism

Share This Toolkit

The publication “Uniting youth for ecotourism” contains tools and framework on eco-tourism, specifically in the context of environmental youth work. 

The publication is an outcome up of the international training course with the same name. The training course was organised by YEE in November 2017 with the aim of exploring youth involvement and participation in ecotourism activities. In the training session, the subject of ecotourism was explored, and strategies were developed to infvolve young people with their local communities through organising ecotourism events and activities.
