Citizen’s engagement in schools: example of the Inter-Schools Connectivity Project

Since 2021, the Inter-Schools Connectivity project has been implementing an educational and digital model that allows young people from France and Bangladesh to exchange on climate change adaptation. Together, they share their experiences and draw inspiration from each other to find innovative solutions to the climate crisis.
In 2023, the inclusion of new European schools in the program highlights the replicability of this model, which can inspire other countries and actors. During this round table, we will talk about the ways o encourage and value civic engagement in schools, with the testimonies of European and Bangladeshi youth as well as expert, on education, sustainable development, and international cooperation. We will also open the floor to the role of young people in the challenges they face on the climate crisis.
