Registration is open for the training on climate change and adaptation for leaders and teachers of youth groups in Concordia. These activities will be carried out both virtually and in person, starting this Wednesday, August 30, at 6:00 PM. Those interested can register for the meeting through the following link: bit.ly/ACC_joven.
In this context, the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto proposed the implementation of a specific activity linked to youth, developing workshops that promote awareness and participation in the launch of actions that contribute to climate change adaptation in the coastal towns of the Uruguay River.
As indicated, work will first be carried out with leaders of youth groups in the city, later extending the initiative to other cities. The activity is organized by the binational project (Argentina - Uruguay) Adaptation to climate change in vulnerable coastal cities and ecosystems of the Uruguay River, with the participation of the teaching team from the training area of the national Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, and with the collaboration of the Undersecretariat of Youth of Entre Ríos and different areas of the Municipality of Concordia.
It is worth clarifying that the training is directly aimed at leaders of youth groups in Concordia to promote their training as environmental promoters, with a perspective on climate change and a focus on gender, generations, and human rights. Based on this training, each leader will work on the contents with their group of young people, who will be protagonists in the design of their climate action.
The training will be in a virtual format and those interested can register for the Zoom meeting through the following link: bit.ly/ACC_joven. Activities will begin this Wednesday, August 30, starting at 6:00 PM.
