ACTIONAID HELLAS: FEED YOUR FUTURE ENGAGING IN
THE CHALLENGE
Despite growing climate awareness—evidenced by a nearly 50% increase in youth climate action in Europe between 2013 and 2023 (Eurydice, 2023)—young people remain significantly underrepresented in the formulation of sustainable food systems and climate policies. Meanwhile, the youth population in rural EU areas has halved, from 3.6 million in 2013 to 1.9 million in 2019 (European Commission), reflecting a disengagement from food systems. Traditional activism often fails to engage this generation, underscoring the need for creative, inclusive platforms that empower young people to drive sustainability and climate action.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The "Feed Your Future" project is a dynamic three-year international initiative designed to empower youth through creative activism, promoting sustainability, climate action, and transformative food systems. With partners from eight European countries—Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Cyprus, Belgium, and Romania—the project employs public art performances, street actions, and interdisciplinary programs, such as the "School of Artivism," to actively engage young people in advocacy. In Greece, ActionAid Hellas will spearhead local activities, street art performances, and the "Art Feeds" Collective Residency, where young people design projects centered on sustainable food systems.
ACTIONAID HELLAS: CLIMATE OF CHANGE
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
NGO Name: ActionAid Hellas - Location: Greece
THE CHALLENGE
Raising awareness of the impact of climate change in the Global South, including climate-induced migration and engaging and activating young EU citizens in supporting policies and developing actions to combat climate change as a driver of irregular migration and forced displacement around the world.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The multi-year, multinational project that aspires to develop young EU citizens' awareness and critical understanding of climate change induced migration as one of the biggest challenges of the globalized world. Through this project, teenagers are first informed and educated about the effects of climate change and migration flows, and then given the ground to act.
