Youth for Earth
Youth for Earth is an Eramus+ funded project, where Civil Connections takes the lead mentoring youth to develop their own micro-projects in their communities toward sustainable community development of ecological awareness. With our Italian partners, Polygonal, we have mentored and built the capacities of 20 youth in Denmark and Italy, who are now initiating their projects and youth leaders in their communities. They will continue to work in the grassroots and continue their work over 2025, and carry their experiences with them beyond as future community leaders and changemakers.

10 youth from Denmark (including 5 from FGU Nord Gladsaxe and 5 with a special interest in the project) and 10 youth from Italy.
Mentorship and guidance provided by Civil Connections and Polygonal.
The Journey:
The project began in March with a joint workshop in Copenhagen, where all 20 participants came together to learn skills in project development, teamwork, and community engagement and share ideas and develop concrete action plans for their initiatives
Over the following months, each team worked on launching their micro-projects with ongoing mentoring.
In June, the group reunited in Italy for a second workshop to present their initiatives and reflect on progress, get inspired by local social and environmental projects and learn practical tools for fundraising and scaling their ideas.
