YouthEcoResilience (Y.E.R.) —: 18 Months of Action

We are proud to share the highlights from the first 18 months of the Y.E.R. Erasmus+ project (February 2025 – July 2026), as submitted to the European Commission.

What we've achieved together:

20 video lessons produced and published across four thematic modules on the dedicated YER – Voices for Eco-Resilience YouTube channel. The final video was published on 15 January 2026, and all content is available on demand — perfect for participants in areas with unstable connectivity.

1,050 people reached through our virtual training on climate change, migration, and human security — including youth workers, young people, and community advocates from across Europe and sub-Saharan Africa.

Kick-Off Meeting in Nairobi (July 2025): Eight partner organisations united across seven countries for our Kick-Off Meeting, hosted by KVDA in Nairobi. Partners exchanged perspectives and agreed on common approaches to the project's next activities.

WP3 Guidelines for Youth Workers: Preparation of the practical guidelines began in April 2026 (M15) and is on track for delivery in September 2026 (M20). This resource will support youth workers across the consortium in applying the project's learning frameworks.

The consortium: Associazione Chiron (Italy · Coordinator), KVDA (Kenya), CHUSDE (Cameroon), AFCS (Ghana), TEDI (Greece), SEDARVP (Ghana), Smart Leap (Germany) & Somali Diaspora Alliance (Sweden).

The project continues to pursue its core mission: bridging climate action and migration experiences through youth education — across borders, across cultures, across generations.
