Countries: Bulgaria Czech Republic Romania Serbia

In Romania, EUKI project Climate Heroes has inspired long-term commitment to sustainability among young people. Three alumni secured EU funding through the Eat4Change project to organise activities promoting sustainable eating. One participant established the educational space for young people, Earthrise-Hub Pepinteen, and now works as a sustainability analyst. Others started climate newsletters, initiated university projects, and became volunteers for Greenpeace. These examples demonstrate how early engagement with climate issues can influence careers and inspire long-term civic action across various sectors.
