Event 3

The third meeting for the Green Youth event took place in the capital of Greece, Athens. The main purpose of this project is to raise awareness and promote a greener future by inspiring and motivating young people to take action. The first day began with a series of activities with young people of different ages, representing each participating association, including students. 

 

During these activities, presentations were made to expose the situation and actions taken in each country, with the aim of discussing and reflecting on how we can act at the local and personal level, and how we can take action for environmental change. To complete the day, projects and activities being carried out in different communities were showcased, involving both young people and adults. These included groups of students dedicated to the green movement and the reuse of fabrics to create new garments.

 

On the second and final day, we were visited by students from Agii Anargiri Institute to discuss human rights and their relationship with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Young and old worked together to reflect on this relationship in different contexts. Additionally, we enjoyed outdoor activities and learned about an interesting organization called the "Center of Earth," which works with senior citizens in planting and harvesting food for their own consumption and production.
