The CLIMentines Project, running from November 2023 to October 2025, is co-funded by the European Union and coordinated by KMOP (Greece), in partnership with leading organisations in climate and youth work, including ALDA (France), ActionAid Italia, Nuorten Akatemia (Finland), Groupe SOS Solidarités (France), PROM (Poland), and ÖJAB (Austria).
Through a series of co-creation workshops, international training sessions, and youth-led initiatives, the project seeks to establish a strong transnational network of over 100 active youth organisations, ensuring that young people have the tools and confidence to participate in climate policy formulation.
The CLIMentines Project has officially released the Youth Worker’s Guide to Climate Action. This comprehensive resource equips youth workers, organisations, and educators with practical tools and methodologies to mobilise young people in participatory climate advocacy and policy making.
The guide, developed by a consortium of seven organisations from six European countries, is a key deliverable of the CLIMentines – Empowered Youth for Climate Action project. It serves as a hands-on manual to foster youth engagement, enhance climate literacy, and provide structured approaches to participatory democracy in environmental decision-making.
A Toolkit for Active Citizenship and Climate Policy Influence
With climate change posing an urgent challenge to modern democracies, the CLIMentines Youth Worker’s Guide aims to bridge the gap between youth activism and policy making. The guide includes:
- Methods and tools for public participation in climate action, such as civic monitoring, deliberative assemblies, and participatory budgeting.
- Step-by-step frameworks for youth organisations to design, implement, and sustain climate initiatives.
- Case studies and best practices from across Europe showcasing successful youth-led climate advocacy.
- Practical sheets and toolkits to facilitate climate-focused democratic engagement at local, national, and European levels.
In addition to the launch of the guide, we invite youth organisations, activists, and climate advocates to join the CLIMentines Transnational Network. This growing community of over 100 organisations provides a platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and action to drive meaningful climate policy change.
By joining the CLIMentines Network, members can take part in exclusive training sessions, webinars, and events, connect with like-minded organisations across Europe, and actively contribute to shaping climate policy at all levels.
