Duration: 60 min
1. Introduction/Expectations
2. Showing cool images of:
– Human rights in times of war, 2023
(How it all began, general idea)
(Brussels/Strasbourg as political landmarks. How it was planned and how it turned out. → See what would be possible if we were the cool, well-organized activists we’d like to be).
– Whose streets? Our streets! 2026
(Review of the project’s origins, the organizational steps, participant involvement, and the week itself?)
3. Briefly review the guidelines: „Why is this possible?“
– Non-formal youth work
– Show all the sections in the guidelines on „Climate Change“ and „Activism.“
