Eco-Awareness for Youth: Igniting Eco-Awareness in Tomorrow’s Leaders. Empowering the youth with essential skills and tools for a sustainable future.

“Green Youth” is not just a project; it’s a movement. We’re dedicated to equipping the youth aged 14-18 with the knowledge and digital tools they need to champion environmental awareness. In harmony with the EU’s Green Deal, our mission is to transform environmental challenges into opportunities for all. Our commitment extends beyond just education; we aim to make learning accessible, engaging, and eco-friendly. Dive deep into our world, where we address a spectrum of environmental topics using non-formal education, crafting materials that resonate with both the youth and their mentors. Join us on this journey towards an eco-conscious future.
