for Nature

PROJECT DURATION

February – December 2024

P.E.A.C.E. for Nature
Participate in Environmental Activism through Civic Engagement for Nature

The background

P.E.A.C.E. for Nature (Participate in Environmental Activism through Civic Engagement for Nature) is a project coordinated by SCI’s Climate Team. It is a group of young members from various SCI organisations, focusing on advancing climate justice within the SCI network and globally. Acting as SCI’s hub for youth climate action, the team is committed to promoting a sustainable and equitable future.

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing global issues society faces nowadays. Whether it is a current economic crisis, feminist issues, the rise of global conflict threats etc., all of those issues can be directly connected with how humans have been exploiting our planet and becoming dependent on fossil fuels. 

As a part of the Climate Team, we believe that SCI’s mission as a peace organisation should be an active engagement in climate activism. For that to happen we need to create a new network of climate activists working with our branches on new actions and projects. We also need more people who can share their knowledge and help youth find their way to becoming a climate activist. 

That is where the idea of P.E.A.C.E. emerged – with this project, directed mainly at youth workers, we want to prepare more SCI’s activists for training youth and facilitating the process of creating diverse, sustainable and effective movement within SCI.

    I really recommend volunteering programs! I’ve gained so much from taking part in different programs and it gave me a new perspective on what I can give to people as a part of my life here on our beautiful planet.

    Slovenia
    This experience has been a before and after in my life, because it made me more aware of the things I consume and the suffering that animals have to go through for this. Obviously, I became a vegetarian after my participation in this workcamp. Of course, an experience that I would repeat a thousand times over.
