About the YOU(th) CARE project

The YOU(th) CARE for Change is a project co-funded by the EU-DEAR Programme, supporting Youths across 12 countries (8 in the EU and 4 extra EU, in the Med Area) in tackling global challenges. From December 2023 to March 2025, it aims to support the engagement of nearly 300 Youth groups who are interested in embracing, sharing and re-framing the CARE for people and the planet.
 
Spanning generations, the CARE approach underscores the interdependencies between realities, global challenges, and macro-micro actions, allowing us to connect the dots of our initiatives globally, in contrast to the extractive and often destructive logic of the market.
 
The Project will organize online and on-site trainings exploring interdependencies, climate change, human rights and intersectionality, and strengthening our gender perspective. Hundreds of youth aged 14 to 25 will access the YOU(th) CARE Campus, conceived as a platform to design the CARE Toolkit collaboratively. The toolkit will guide youth groups and learning communities in elaborating territorial agendas which will become actions which can be supported by the project through sub-granting and not only: learning initiatives, alternative economic actions, and campaigns at the territorial, national and mediterranean level.
