Building blocks of climate change

The training helps youth workers aquire comepetences to design and run engaging climate change education with young people, using methods they can apply in their own organisations, youth centres and community spaces. The project focuses on concrete practice: participants work hands-on with LEGO® Serious Play®, short branching scenarios built in H5P (with paper versions), and cooperative game slices followed by guided dialogue. By the end, each country team leaves with one blended activity packaged in three delivery options (standard, short and no-tech) and a one-page guide that any colleague can use.

We aim to build core competences in plain-language design, fair and confident facilitation, inclusion and accessibility, simple digital creation, and quick ways to check if learning happened. We aim for transfer at home: one pilot per country within sixty days, run in real youth spaces and adapted to local constraints. We aim to keep cooperation light and useful through a shared library of materials, a common messaging channel and two short online check-ins.

We aim to make results easy to find and reuse by sharing the ready-to-run activity on SALTO and partner channels, and to recognise learning through Youthpass with short, honest statements. The programme combines hands-on non-formal methods that youth workers can transfer at home: LEGO® Serious Play® for build–share–reflect work on climate themes; short branching scenarios prototyped on paper and built in H5P; cooperative game slices (Daybreak) followed by guided dialogue with climate cards; and a final “mix and match” day where each country team packages one blended activity in three delivery options (standard, short and no-tech). Every day closes with a brief Reflect & Recharge moment to make learning visible. Preparation includes a partner call, a logistics pack and a short online orientation; follow-up includes one pilot per country within 60 days, two light online check-ins, and sharing the ready-to-run resource on SALTO and partner channels.

We will involve 27 participants: three youth workers from each of the 9 partner countries (aged 21+), selected by their organisations. . English is the working language; basic English is accepted when a teammate commits to support during the week. For youth workers, we expect stronger competences in plain-language design, fair and confident facilitation, inclusion and accessibility, simple digital creation with H5P, and quick ways to check if learning happened. For organisations, we expect a visible upgrade in programme quality: clearer objectives in session plans, methods that work in different rooms and time slots, and activities that can be repeated by colleagues and volunteers.
