Marching for the climate

Young people and local authorities against climate change

Description

The intervention was conceived as an educational programme implemented in formal and non-formal contexts with the objective of encouraging the activation of young people and their direct engagement in dialogue with local and national authorities on the issue of climate change.

The evidence-based education project for students and teachers is integrated into the school curriculum, but also includes extracurricular opportunities for discussion with various local and national stakeholders and participatory peer education activities.

It is a programme that starts at school, but is designed to continue in the community, through local climate marches, the drafting and delivery of a National Youth Manifesto against Climate Change and its dissemination through a petition.
