  • Strengthen Euro-Arab relations through shared learning and collaboration.
  • Deepen knowledge of policy frameworks and bolster advocacy.
  • Engage communities in meaningful discussions about climate change and displacement.
  • Foster personal growth and resilience among participants.
  • Establish a lasting network of youth workers and advocates across regions.

๐Ÿค A United Approach: Emphasizing collaboration, cultural exchange, and empathy, the programme strived to forge a unified approach to tackle the dual challenges of climate change and displacement. It is a testament to Associazione MINERVA’s commitment to building resilient communities and fostering international cooperation.

๐ŸŒฑ A Step Towards a Better Future: The experiences and knowledge gained by the youth workers of Associazione MINERVA in this project are invaluable. They are now better equipped to lead, inspire, and make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change and in supporting displaced communities.
