We are proud to announce that the Erasmus+ project ‘Up-Root Eco-Democracy’ has been approved!
About The Project
The ‘Up-Root Eco-Democracy’ project aims to increase youth’s confidence in the EU’s ability to tackle climate change and increase youth voter turnout in the 2024 EU elections and beyond. Together, project partners will promote sustainable city development and green practices on a local to global scale, while simultaneously increasing youth’s capacity to research and advocate for environmental issues, promoting young voices in global debate.
Aims and Objectives
Additionally, the project aims to promote sustainable city development, increase capacity to engage in the democratic process, and increase EU awareness. It hopes to increase youth’s capacity to engage in political debate on climate change and sustainable development, while promoting young people’s voices in regional, national and European politics.
Project Activities
The project includes two LTTAs in Denmark (Copenhagen) and Türkiye (Cappadocia), where youth will learn about democracy, the environment and sustainable city development. Additionally, the project includes youth-led webinars!
