Today marks the kickoff of the ‘Youth Ecopreneurs Camp’!
We’re thrilled to welcome 38 passionate young minds from France, Sweden, Romania, Spain, Poland, and Italy. Over the week, these future ecopreneurs will dive deep into green entrepreneurship, tackling local ecological challenges and crafting sustainable solutions for their communities.
In the first part of the youth exchange, we delved into the pressing environmental realities of the participating countries.
The participants shared insightful presentations on:
- Environmental Facts & Figures
- Key Environmental Issues
- Inspiring Green Entrepreneurs & Investment Opportunities
- Notable Environmental Activist
But that’s not all! We kickstarted the Design Thinking process, and participants formed multicultural groups to ideate and define solutions for some of today’s most critical sustainability challenges:
1️⃣ Revitalize urban landscapes: Breathing new life into abandoned urban spaces.
2️⃣ Combat plastic pollution: Tackling the surge of plastic waste, especially plastic bottles.
3️⃣ Revive community spirit: Creating youth-friendly, sustainable spaces in small communities.
4️⃣ Address the knowledge gap: Educating young people on climate change and sustainability.
5️⃣ Combat community food waste: Reducing food waste to alleviate social and environmental issues.
6️⃣ Create sustainable markets: Introducing sustainable food retail ventures in cities.
7️⃣ Promote sustainable fashion: Challenging fast fashion with eco-friendly clothing alternatives.
The energy, enthusiasm, and creativity already shown by these young ecopreneurs promise an impactful and inspiring week ahead.
