VOLT Documentary

The VOLT documentary follows the learning journey of three schools that came together through the VOLT project. The project supports teachers and students with tools to study local volcanoes from a cross sector perspective, including historical, geographical, geological, and societal dimensions. It also promotes new pedagogical practices such as Inquiry Based Learning.

Filmed across three active volcanic regions, the documentary shows how students from Greece, Iceland, and Italy explored geological phenomena while building connections across countries.

Throughout the VOLT exchanges, students asked questions, investigated volcanic areas, collaborated internationally, and built knowledge together instead of receiving information passively. The experience shows how learning gains meaning when students’ interests guide the process and when lessons connect to real world contexts.

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.
