About the GenGreen Project
The GenGreen project empowers local associations to adapt and implement educational activities that address climate change, while supporting youth-led initiatives across local communities.
By developing educational programmes, encouraging intercultural exchanges, and actively involving young people in meaningful actions across Austria, Hungary, Greece, and Denmark, GenGreen equips them with the tools to drive tangible, lasting change.
Ultimately, GenGreen seeks to improve youth engagement in climate action, raise awareness of the connection between youth, local associations, and climate advocacy, and enhance the capacity of the organisations involved.
