The Youth Eco‑Activism Toolkit is a comprehensive guide designed to empower young people and youth workers across Europe to tackle the climate crisis through informed, creative and responsible online action. 

In Chapter 1, you’ll explore the science of climate change and its impacts in France, Ireland, Portugal, Denmark, Romania and Italy. 

Chapter 2 showcases inspiring success stories of eco‑activism campaigns from these same countries, illustrating the power of collective effort. 

Chapter 3 equips youth workers with practical resources—from understanding freedom of expression and combating hate speech online to leveraging digital storytelling, social media management and community‑building tools—through a series of hands‑on workshops. 

You’ll also find expert guidance on crafting compelling campaigns, ensuring participant safety, fostering sustainable living practices and advocating for environmental justice. 

Whether you’re launching your first online initiative or looking to deepen your existing projects, this toolkit offers everything you need to create meaningful, youth‑led change for our planet.

Our Guidebook on Youth Political Engagement and the EU Elections is a practical resource built from roundtables and focus groups with young people across France, Ireland, Denmark, Romania, Portugal and Italy. 

In the first section, you’ll discover insights into the obstacles that keep youth from civic participation, identify which groups are most disengaged and explore strategies to overcome these barriers. It also includes youth perspectives on why they do or don’t vote for the European elections and how the outcome might affect their communities. 

The Guidebook also includes downloadable, clear, country‑specific infographics created by young people for young people to explain how to vote for the EU elections. They can be used for the next election or as an idea for similar infographics for local, regional or national elections.

The last section incluides different workshop outlines based on non-formal education methods with a focus on participatory approaches on Mock Election, Lobbying Letter and Power Mapping that you can adapt to inspire initiative, teamwork and communication as you prepare young people for local, national and European elections.
