GREEN_YOUTH: Climate Change awareness through Youth to promote a sustainable Europe in beside of Covid19

Following the EU Youth Strategy and in the European Year of Youth, Green_Youth is a network of 8 European cities that will work for the sensitization of young people about the European Green Deal in response to the crisis caused by the pandemic and what is their role and that of local communities in the ecological transition and in achieving the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda. The main objective of Green_Youth project is to promote debate and youth reflection on the future of Europe and in this sense, on the potential way out of the crisis that the commitment to the European Green Deal represents. Green_Youth will work for the participation and involvement of young people, who are being the most affected group by the economic and social crisis caused by COVID19 and also, as the generation that must reflect on the Europe in which they themselves want to live in the future. At this very fundamental moment, it is necessary to generate new narratives that reinforce the EU values and are born from the cities and citizens that make it up. In this sense, Green_Youth is a network of towns that will focus on involving the younger population through education and participation, making them explore European strategies in the environmental field, their relationship with local communities and the opportunities that they arise for the youth to progress.
