YE “ECOUprising”
Summary
The youth exchange “ECOuprising” was created in response to the urgent need to empower young people to build a greener, fairer, and more sustainable future. Across Europe, climate change, pollution, unsustainable consumption, and biodiversity loss are challenges that directly affect young people’s lives. Many are motivated to act, but they often lack practical tools, international cooperation, and spaces where they can turn their ideas into meaningful action.
