Seminars for youth engagement
The Estonian Green Movement/FoE Estonia, as well as their youth group organised three seminars in February engaging young people to think about upcoming elections and how it affects their lives.
The seminars included some psychological learning to give participants an idea about how their thinking can be affected by different external factors. A second part was dedicated to analysis of political programmes of different parties from environmental aspects to topics related to young people.
The whole seminar created lively discussions, and showed clearly that young people care a lot about the environment. Some wise words from a young participant are good to conclude the seminars: "Be the change you want to see!"
