The Assembly will take place on Friday, March 4th and 11th on the Zoom platform. We will also feature some topics that can familiarize our region with the importance of advocacy and youth touch when tackling such global challenges by being introduced to activists and environmentalists through hearing their change-making stories in the region and how they managed to extend their impact to the entire world.

We will ensure that this knowledge is turned into real actions where people will meet organizations and networks that they can be part of to start making a difference and get to know more about what it is like to serve the communities that have been repeatedly affected by climate change.
