EUTEENS4GREEN Projects

Empower students to act and become rural and green ambassadors, with the support of specialists and the creation of the comic THE GREEN TRANSITION IN RURAL REGIONS to spread the impact.\n\nThe project will start with the creation of small group of student. I have been already talking with some friends and we will create a group of 4 students. Then, we will start with a communication campaign in order to reach different secondary schools in Teruel. We aim to reach 3 secondary schools in Teruel, involving at\nleast 5 teachers and 150 students (between 15 and 18 years old) in the whole province of Teruel. I have been already talking with some people in order to involve these schools.\nThen we carried out a conference and workshop. This event will be for a whole day and it will be focused on a mentoring and training session with the support of some experts and specialist in Climate Change and Ecological Transition.\nThe event will be in presence in Teruel for at least 100 participants, but it will be done in streaming for other students in Teruel and also for other youngsters in other Spanish vulnerable regions, as it is A Coruña, Asturias and Almería. I have been talking with some high schools in these 3 regions as well.\nDuring this event, the experts will talk about the impacts and solutions of Climate Change with the objective of empowering and motivating the youngsters.\nAfter the mentoring and training event, students will start to work together identifying the main effects and impacts of climate change in their lives. They will be working in small groups from home and we will create a group on Instagram and Snapchat. The work will be done during 2 weeks, but the groups will be kept during the whole project and after the end of it. This group will be called CLIMIND After this short thinking period, another activity in presence will be done. This time it will be a participatory and engagement activity. This action will be called TEEN, RURAL, GREEN AMBASSADORS.\nYoungsters and student will discuss about the main effects and impacts of Climate Change on their lives and they will find out some solutions and they will detect some opportunities to act. All theses opinions, feelings and thoughts will be collected as conclusion with the objective of the creation of a creative COMIC.

The project will be focused in teenagers between 15 and 18 years old, but the project will impact in all the community of the rural area of Teruel.\nUsually the impact in rural areas is easily spread because the population is not high and the doings are disseminated quickly. This is a good aspect for our project because we expect a great impact and fast communication in all the region.\nSo, not only the students will be impacted by the project, also the families and general population of the region will be reach and impacted.\nThe main impacts will be:\n- New knowledge and better understanding of the green transition and the opportunities of rural areas for the creation of new jobs and projects.\n- Higher awareness about the Climate Change and the opportunities of resilience in rural regions.\n- Empowerment of rural citizens (specially youngsters) to change the behavior and act for new green projects in rural villages.\n- New interpersonal competences and motivation in order to act as ambassador in young people.\n- Increasing the commitment and engagement through the creation of a new group and network for CLIMIND AMBASSADORS.\n- New narratives and metamorphs to disseminate and communicate through the COMIC.\n- Commitment of rural schools to implement and spread the results of this project.\n- Support of specialist and politicians to contribute in the objectives of this project.\n\nThe project aims to involve directly 150 participants (students in secondary schools) and to reach indirectly at least 300 students in other rural regions in whole Europe.\n\nThe main actions are:\n1.-Communication Campaign to involve the youngsters.\nThe communication campaing will be activity to catch and involve the students in this project, but also this campaing will increase the awarness about the green transition and climate change.\n2.-Conference and workshop with training and mentoring to empower the youngsters.\nDuring the activity 2 some experts and specialists will carry out a training and mentoring for the students, 150 participants in total.\n3.-Creation of group for action.CLIMIND AMBASSADORS\n4.-Participatory and engagement process to find the conclusions.\nExchange of good practices\n5.-Creation of the COMIC - THE GREEN TRASITION IN RURAL REGIONS.\n6.-Dissemination through online Event.
