“Youth encountering environmental human rights”

24/02-02/03/2013, European Youth Centre Budapest, Hungary

This study session aims to promote active youth participation in environmental human rights education and peaceful activism. This activity targets  youth  workers, educators, activists- anyone interested to explore the topic of environmental human rights, willing to share their histories of participation and learn new ways of engaging in local and global environmental matters.
