Workshop “Your job orientation in the time of climate change”

In this workshop young people discuss different professions and their respective climate impact in a dialogue-oriented format. The participants' own strengths and interests serve as a basis for identifying relevant job fields or even specific job positions.

What is this workshop about?

According to the European Green Deal, we are striving to be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. For that to happen, we need solutions for all generations. Especially young people do play a very important role in taking action against climate change.

The years between 2022 to 2030 are crucial in guiding young people towards a sustainable career path. The workshop helps them identifying job preferences and analysing them in terms of their environmental aspects.
