Time to take action - Participate in the 1 Million Youth Actions Challenge

Discover the 'One Million Youth Actions Challenge' (1MYAC) and meet its Youth Ambassadors from around the world. It will be an interactive workshop with collective actions taken on-site. If you would like to create a shelter for small animals, make seed bombs, and much more, join the 1MYAC team.
HideDescription
The 'One Million Youth Actions Challenge' (1MYAC) aims to mobilise young people from all over the world to implement 1.000.000 concrete and meaningful actions for a more sustainable future. Actions should focus on four SDGs: 6, 12, 13, 15. It is an initiative launched by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and its thematic network on water called 'RésEAU'. By providing a platform to showcase youth actions, we are convinced that youth will be better placed to influence leadership and policy regarding a more sustainable world. During the workshop, participants will meet 1MYAC Ambassadors from around the world and discover the Challenge's online platform - with suggestions of actions and guidelines to implement them. There will be several stands with different actions taken at each stand: build a shelter for insects or small animals, delete your cloud storage, make seed bombs etc. Participants will also be invited to design their own actions.
