EcoReactEU: Addressing Eco-Anxiety in Europe through Education and Action
EcoReactEU (Reaction to eco-anxiety for a common transition in Europe) is an Erasmus+ KA220- Cooperation partnerships in youth project, whose priority is to reinforce links between policy, research and practice, environment, and fight against climate change.
Summary
Eco-anxiety is a subject that is currently little explored in European educational practice. Knowledge of the subject is limited, and educational policies are almost non-existent to support it. EcoReactEU aims to ensure the skills development of youth workers and the entire European educational community, to promote the integration of eco-anxiety in their practices with young people and thus offer a first educational response to it. The project also aspires to encourage public policies to make eco-anxiety a major issue for consideration in national and European youth and educational policies.
