The Movers Programme is a regional movement of volunteers who develop SDGs awareness, entrepreneurial mindsets and 21st-century skills by conducting localized training at grassroots level led by Youth Co:Lab. The Movers Programme uses a training-of-trainer approach and works with community partners to target harder-to-reach groups and support Youth Co:Lab’s objective to leave no youth behind.
Movers4Climate is a climate awareness-raising and skills development programme for youth, both online and in-person. It has a “train-the-trainer” structure, which aims to create a fast-growing, long-lasting youth-led climate movement at both the national and regional levels. This Programme equips youth with the modern-day skills they need to become effective climate advocates and leaders, working at the national level to influence climate-related decisions. The Programme also provides youth with practical, easy-to-use tools, allowing them to then create high-impact climate awareness campaigns within their communities.
