Training methods used & main activities

During this activity I used Non-Formal Learning methods that prioritised interactivity and reflection of the group. This included a combination of solo, small-group, and plenary work like quizzes to introduce theoretical notions; a modified approach to the "Take a Step Forward" activity; simulations of a tribunal court and law cases against elements considered against the concept of climate positivity; and design thinking methods to create a model climate positive youth mobility.
