YOU-CARE: from preoccupation to participation

Meet the YOU-CARE project addressing eco-anxiety in youth

Despite recent breakthroughs, the current and future effects of climate change on mental health remain underappreciated and under-studied. Young people are the most affected, and there is an urgent need to deploy spaces where they can play an active part in researching and grasping the diverse emotions triggered by the triple planetary crisis – so as to move from anxiety to agentivity.

This toolkit wants to demystify EU advocacy and help you navigate local and European decision-making, so that your school / organisation can raise their concerns and visions for education at different levels.

The Change We Want: A Manifesto by Rural Young People in Europe

At QUEST, we believe young people don’t need adults to translate what they want to say. Too often, they are tokenised, routinely consulted to check a box, yet shut out from meaningful decision-making on the very issues that shape their lives. They need real space to say it, and real doors opened to the people who can act on it. Giving rural youth the room to define their own demands, in their own words and their own format, and then walking those demands into institutions like the EESC and the Committee of the Regions, is exactly the kind of empowerment we exist to make possible.
