This series of Learning Labs serves as an introduction to the concept of a just transition and as exploration of the struggles the youth faces when trying to move away from a carbon-intensive society both in rural and urban settings. We will analyse the implications this transition might have on social and human rights and what are the pre-existent problematics that have been accelerated in this time of health, social and economic crisis.
Following the cancellation of the two live activities of this one-year long project, these Learning Labs will bring young people together in a digital, brave space for learning. Participants will have the opportunity to acquire knowledge about the just transition, experience alternative online facilitation methods and tools that we can use in this time of social distancing and get ready for the following live activities. Each webinar, some including an exercise of interactive mapping or a gaming session, is envisioned as one step of this six-part online seminar.
We will (1) explore the theoretical basis for a just transition and place it within a European framework, (2) share the problems and experiences of young people in both rural and urban areas from around Europe, (3) analyse the just transition from a perspective of energy, food and transport, drawing linkages between urban and rural settings and (4) gather input for compilation of the green principles for a just transition, joint vision of Young Greens in Europe.
The exact date and time of each webinar will be shared on this webpage at least one month in advance.
Internet Support
We are aware that not everybody has a strong and stable internet connection at their disposal. In order to make these webinars accessible and as convenient to join as possible, we offer support to all registered participants for the purchase of a better internet plan. This can be a one-day extra internet plan for your phone, to create a hotspot for your laptop. We cannot however cover the costs for monthly internet bills.
If you wish to request such support, please reach out to project.manager@fyeg.org up to one week prior the webinar, indicating the details of the offer that you would like to purchase.
