Being a young person today is equal parts exciting and confusing. Navigating a global pandemic, the climate crisis, as well as taking time to understand yourself and how you relate to the world around you can be a lot sometimes. Luckily, you are not alone in feeling like this! Many youth from all over the world are coming together to fight for their present and future, and in doing so are not only changing the world but are also better understanding themselves and what they want. If this interests you but you do not know where to start, then look no further! We developed an interactive toolkit that will help you make sense of some of your political desires and demands and explains how you can use these feeling to inspire action by organising workshops. This toolkit comes with a workshop program that is designed to, and can be given by anyone that has basic knowledge in this field.

This toolkit is the fourth publication in our series of toolkits, following our Climate Justice Toolkit for Youth written for the COP26, the Climate Summit in Glasgow, the Climate Justice Toolkit for Youth 2022 and our Activity Kit for the CSW66, the Commission on the Status of Women, and gives you tips for engaging in activism around climate justice. This toolkit takes a different approach and provides a workshop program. How you use this toolkit is up to you! You will find some explanatory information on why youth engagement is important, how you can engage, and how to take your type of activism to the streets safely. Secondly, there are some activities to help you reflect on what role, or activism type suites best for you, safety and security based on privileges in society, your identity, what is important to you and how you relate to the world around you. Lastly, you will find in addition to this toolkit ‘Useful sources’ with links to books, podcasts, organizations, and petition platforms.
