Summary of Action
The Young Global Influencer course brings together 20 young people who want to participate in building a more ecologically sustainable future as active global citizens. The goal of the five-weekend course is to strengthen young people’s own agency as agents of change in order to mitigate climate change and stop the loss of nature.
The main point of view of the course is to study how people’s actions and choices in Finland affect the global level and how it is possible to make changes in a more ecologically sustainable direction in different sectors of society. In the course, young people learn how to influence in a safe community, from opinion writing to giving a speech and organizing an event.
In addition, young people learn to recognize their own strengths and potential as influencers and get to know like-minded young people while also learning from each other. At the end of the project, 20 young people from all over Finland have found their voice as influencers and have the motivation, ability, and opportunities to act as changemakers in their own communities and organizations.
In addition, the organizer has learned how to use future thinking and scenario planning as part of the youth influence training.
