2010-09-01T09:00:00.008+02:00

The Youth Exchange “The Young People Against the Climate Change” has been promoted by Casitilleja de la Cuesta Local Council within WWF Adena, in collaboration with Association VAIVÉN (consortia.es).

The main goal of this project is energize to our young people to act against the climate change, while they are enjoying an experience based on quality, work and cultural exchange, that will definitely add to their personal development. The Youth Exchange will take place in Castilleja de la Cuesta (Spain) on October, 18th – 27th 2010.

Among ten days, 30 youngsters from Spain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Estonia, Italy and Portugal will have the chance to know the causes of the planet warming and participate actively in actions to fight against this global problem: awareness campaigns for energy saving; activities related to renewable energy; visits to ICT enterprises and approaches to production systems based on environment awareness; while they are know other cultures and travel all around Western Andalucía.

We expect to inspire our young people to be active environmental volunteers and make them search labour opportunities focused on reduce the global warming.
