Together with their partner organisations, PeaceWorks Sweden invite you to apply for a training course at Färnebo Folkhögskola from 9-18 June 2025.

Through interactive exercises, creative and non-formal learning methods this training course will promote critical reflection about the ways in which global power structures are linked to matters of climate justice, how such structures connect to the participants’ local settings and youth work as well as providing a space to further consolidate youth participation and action. This will be done by increasing knowledge about the connection between global (in)justice and climate, equipping the participants with concrete tools to easily engage themselves and others, as well as enabling conditions for creating solidarity networks and actions based on climate justice. The training course and project thus also aim to generate international connections and facilitate mobility and exchange of knowledge among youth workers from different countries. The project results will provide participants with greater knowledge of climate justice as well as strengthened capacities and new strategies for promoting increased youth participation.

• When? 9th to 18th June 2025 (including two days for travelling).
• Where? Färnebo Folkhögskola, Österfärnebo, Sweden
• Who? The project is aimed at youth workers who seek increased capacity in mobilising young people for issues related to climate justice. The requirements for participation are as follows:
• • You should be at least 18 years old
  • You should have been working with young persons for at least 6 months
  • You should be willing to critically reflect on your own position as a youth worker, local and global power structures as well as your own role in reproducing them.
