We are glad to announce that despite Covid-19 challenges Erasmus+ Youth Green Conference 2022 (YGC 2022) project continues! We had to reschedule the event conduction from 2021 to 2022. But communication of partners continued simultaneously. In this Erasmus+ Youth Exchange project, 60 youngsters from Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Ukraine will take part and exchange their environmental experience and ideas.
Virtual partner meeting

The European Wilderness Society managed the meeting with the project partners: Dominicus-von-Linprun-Gymnasium Viechtach (Germany), Eliante Onlus (Italy), Zavod Revivo (Slovenia), and NGO FORZA(Ukraine).

The YGC 2022 will take place in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Lungau, Austria.
Youth Green Conference 2022
During five days of the YGC 2022 youngsters from 5 European countries will participate in a wide range of non-formal and informal educational activities arranged by project partners. Here, we will be discussing together and exchanging experiences on such topics as sustainability, climate change, green future of Europe, youth action and other environmental issues. The international character of the event will also provide youngsters a possibility to practice speaking a foreign (English) language and foster solidarity and respectful understanding towards fellow youngsters from different countries.
Moreover, youngsters will also have a chance to meet and talk to VIP guests, such as decision makers, nature conservationists, youth green leaders and artists and to develop European Youth Charter for the Environment.
European Youth Charter for the Environment
European Youth Charter for the Environment is the chance of the European youngsters to express their concerns and ideas about climate change, sustainability and youth actions. The Charter will be developed by youth for youth and shared and with EU decision makers to make a difference.
