In Bulgaria, EUKI project Climate Heroes laid the foundation for long-term youth engagement at WWF Bulgaria. Since 2020, more than 30 young people have joined eco-clubs and initiatives every year, all of which are shaped by the project’s methodology. The PanGea youth network, founded by project alumni, continues to spearhead climate mini-projects focusing on energy, biodiversity, and forests. In March 2025, 30 young people participated in a climate camp organised by the EU-funded Power Up! project. They employed Climate Heroes tools to launch initiatives in their schools and communities. This demonstrates how EU funding can result in enduring structures that empower young people to take action on climate change.
