Words of Change

“WORDS OF CHANGE II - Simplifying Climate Change” is an european youth exchange aimed at gathering young people that want to make a change in the world and in their communities. At joining efforts and ideas and addressing climate change. At creating a space for youth to feel ready to act in their local environmental issues and be able to express their concerns, raise awareness and mobilize other youth into their ideas.

During 7 days, young people from different worlds and realities will gather in Chaves, in the isolated hill region of the north of Portugal to participate in sessions and activities in our communitiy, connecting with each other and with our local population. They will be sharing ideas, creating plans and developing their capacity to communicate, inform others and create the change in their community. They will dive into outdoor education, explore the local nature and ecosystems and learn about ecology, biodiversity protection and climate change science.

They will learn communication and storytelling tools and create videos campaigns to pass the word and educate other youth worlwide.
