EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal 2024-2026

ongoing

Five project partners from four countries as well several suppliers and supporters from further parts of Europe came together to build a future oriented strong alliance with like-minded European allies. Together they will take the green project EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal (further: EUYC:GD), launched with great success in March 2022 to a new level. The scalable, efficient, comprehensive and high-quality education project dedicated to a greener and fairer Europe will last, in its second phase, further 24 months. The general goal of EUYC:GD is to create a strong European community of environmentally conscious and responsible young people, who are aware of climate challenges and know how to face them. The unique educational platform with sustainable focus brings the green agenda addressed in the European Green Deal to young citizens of all backgrounds – through films and discussions in the cinemas with recognized and often well-known experts and an innovative streaming platform with a strong didactic narrative www.euyc.green. While promoting the European Green Deal in its name, EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal is driven by sustainability and the need to provide a first-rate and film-oriented program dedicated to the Green Deal which will increase the awareness about this topic among the audiences. The entire program is freely accessible to all registered school classes, and partially available for a wider international audience, too (also free of charge). The carefully curated films focus on experience exchange, presenting solutions for climate protection, introducing eco-friendly initiatives as well as promoting green habits and a greener, healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. The EUYC:GD community, built in the first phase around the streaming platform in 6 languages and a series of 66 cinema events in 21 cities in 5 European countries, will be thus, in the next step, enlarged to 12 countries and 80 cinema events in 33 cities in 11 countries.
