About the student campaigns/actions
Groups of young people aged 13–20 prepare public campaigns or events addressing global challenges in a local context.
The aim is to raise awareness of important global issues and seek solutions relevant to the communities where young people live. The campaigns should also include a global perspective and engage the public.
Global topics include, for example, climate change, global inequalities, migration, and gender equality.
