This project builds connections among youth workers from 15 European and African environmental and social justice organisations that are part of the Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) federation, for mutual learning, skill sharing, joint campaign planning and cultural exchange, with the aim of building a more diverse and inclusive international environmental youth movement.FoEI and the project partners have a long history of campaigning on today’s most urgent environmental and social issues. Yet, in both Africa and Europe, they face a common challenge in enhancing the engagement of youth of different age, gender, race, and socio-economic background in their work. This project will build on the existing expertise and competences related to youth work leading to creative tools, methods and strategies for strengthening the diversity and inclusivity of youth in the environmental and social justice movement from the national to the global level. The project will build the capacity of youth workers in Cameroon, Togo, South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda, Mozambique, Liberia, Belgium, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Netherlands, Austria, and Croatia, by:- Building the practical skills and leadership of youth workers within environmental and social justice organisations to work more effectively with young environmental advocates;- Fostering cross-regional collaboration and networking between youth workers from environmental and social justice organisations in Europe and Africa; - Developing a methodological framework for youth workers of environmental and social justice organisations to enhance inclusiveness and diversity of youth, with a particular emphasis on gender, class, race, indigenous peoples and human migration.Project activities include a regional project launch meeting, four cross-regional learning workshops, and a mobility exchange program in which a youth worker from one African organisation will be hosted by youth workers from a European organisation and vice-versa for a 10-day joint learning and exchange. Each European partner is paired with an African counterpart working on a similar environmental justice topic, such as coal; monoculture plantations; land grabbing; fracking, forest and climate as to allow youth workers to develop concrete cross-regional campaigns to test the tools and methods for engaging young women and men from different backgrounds more effectively. Throughout the project, participants will document 'best practices' for ensuring inclusivity and diversity of underrepresented youth populations and that are rooted in the realities of today’s young people from Europe and Africa. These ‘best practices’ will be shared with FoEI’s 75 national member groups across all continents and incorporated in the planning templates of environmental and social justice organisations at national, regional and international level. This in turn will contribute to building a more inclusive and diverse global environmental youth movement.
