Youth know what's going on, we need
education in order to create changes,
so I think that including climate change
and environmental aspects into curriculum
especially, will play a huge role in how our
societies are shaped in the future.

Team members also saw education as a place
to enhance the capacity of youth to collaborate
with governments, communities, and other
organizations, expressing the view that schools
are not only places of knowledge dissemination
but also a means for youth to gain political voice.
School is not just a place of learning, but of
creation, and collaboration feeds innovation.
In creating a collaborative engagement space
within schools, students are better able to
become directly involved in actions

Team members also recognized that education
does not just have to be in school, but manifests
through raising citizen awareness:
The youth will be most influential when it
comes to spreading awareness throughout
the country since they are well educated
when it comes to these topics and can
share this with their relatives and the
older generation
