Inclusive Politics,Knowledge brokering,News,Project01 Oct 2024Charlotte Stam | Ruth van de Velde

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Wilde Ganzen in the light of their recently initiated Connect for Global Change programme, funded by the European Union. This collaboration aims to foster an inclusive society where European citizens, and especially youth, feel co-responsible in addressing sustainable development and global challenges. 

About the Connect for Global Change Programme:

Connect for Global Change empowers European citizens and civil society organisations to address global challenges like climate change, gender inequality, and migration. By offering training, networking, and funding support, the project prioritises youth engagement, gender equality, and cultural diversity. It fosters collaboration for a more inclusive, sustainable world, equipping organisations to inspire meaningful local and global action toward global responsibility.

In this assignment, we aim to make complex knowledge more accessible and actionable, while engaging youth in international cooperation. To kick things off, we will create an interactive story map that simplifies global challenges and encourages dialogue on these critical issues. The story map will not only help people grasp the key challenges but also deepen their understanding of the stakes involved and explore how individuals and organisations can take action. 

Global citizenship is a highly relevant theme and we are eager to contribute to increased engagement of EU citizens with global challenges. We look forward to staying connected along the way.
