Children Stand Up!

Inspiring young people in Italy and Albania to adopt sustainable lifestyles and to advocate for them in local politics.
Schools play an especially important role in bringing about societal change: they are hubs, where a new generation works on realising a more sustainable and inclusive society. Furthermore, schools are multipliers in that the values they promote reach beyond the students themselves, into their families, and thus into society at large.

The project makes use of this dynamic: it builds networks to connect youth groups and schools and provides knowledge on climate change mitigation to children, youth and their teachers and promotes good practices among them. In addition, the project develops ideas for climate action in schools as well as supports and monitors their implementation. Furthermore, it uses reports and videos to present and promote best practices through its media and social media channels. Thus, schools all over Europe can adapt and realise them.
Another core concern is to promote the power of advocacy. Therefore, Children Stand Up! provides both schools and municipalities with capacities and methods that enable the increased participation of children in decision making. Permanent environmental committees ensure the sustainability of the project.
