Do you want to take part in a Europe-wide simulation where you get to reimagine the future of climate policy?

Join us in Chișinău, Moldova, for The Green Deal by Young People, from the 10-14 of June, a political simulation where you will step into the shoes of country representatives, institutions, NGOs, and lobbyists to negotiate the European Green Deal.

This is your chance to practice real advocacy, negotiation, and coalition-building skills alongside young changemakers from across Europe.

This simulation will contribute to the creation of the Green Deal Manifesto by young people, to be presented in a final conference in December.

This event is the continuation of JEF Europe’s ClimDM workplan on democracy and climate action, co-funded by the European Youth Foundation.
