Rebooting Connection- for young creative changemakers

Join a new generation of Europe-based changemakers using digital creativity and empathic communication to shape a more just, diverse, and climate-resilient world. You can apply here to join! 

This hybrid online and in-person course brings together young adults (18-30 years old) from across Europe to explore how storytelling, digital technology, and transgenerational collective action can transform the way we respond to the climate crisis together.

Why this course?

Because the world needs your voice, creativity and action now.

As global temperatures keep rising, amid climate anxiety, misinformation, and digital overload, this course helps you reclaim communication as a force for good. You’ll learn how to use creativity, ethical storytelling, and decentralized digital tools to inspire resilience, rebuild communities, and spark a deep transformation in society.

Who is it for?

For young adults (18–30 years old) who are based across Europe and who:

  • Care about the planet and want to act, but don’t know where to start.
  • Feel frustrated, anxious, hopeless, or disconnected from the global climate conversation.
  • Work or dream of working in sustainability, communication, or creative fields.
  • Want to use digital media ethically, beyond algorithms and greenwashing.
  • Believe in inclusion, diversity, and solidarity as the heart of climate action and resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Whether you’re an artist, activist, student, or (aspiring) social entrepreneur — this course is for you.

 

What is it about?

The course comprises a six-part online learning journey combining climate resilience, digital transformation, and communication that fosters belonging. You’ll explore how to:

  • Listen with empathy
  • Tell powerful stories that connect and inspire action.
  • Build communities of purpose and support.
  • Mobilize ethical digital tools with reduced environmental impacts.
  • Engage in peer learning, dialogue, and creative exercises.

In addition, two in-person workshops in Paris and Berlin will bring together diverse youth for deep dives into climate-resilient digital communication. We will introduce decentralized media, as well as discuss the real costs (and potential) of AI.

What will you learn?

By the end of the learning journey, you will:

  • Understand how communication can make or break climate resilience.
  • Learn to craft campaigns and digital stories that move people to take responsibility while fostering wellbeing and belonging.
  • Explore decentralized, fair, and low-carbon digital tools.
  • Connect with peers across Europe to co-create new projects.
  • Feel empowered, hopeful, and supported to lead for transformation in a changing world.

We will give a certificate of completion to the participants that pass the the final assessment and survey.

 

How is the course designed?

All our learning journeys are co-designed with the young adults we wish to support. Our co-design process with 8 young people will take place from March to April 2026. It will consist in 2 to 3 workshops of 1.5 to 2 hours during which we will discuss the key challenges, critical issues, engaging formats, and eye-opening experts that should be part of the learning journey. We will also integrate key findings of an open survey in the design of the course.

If you would like to join as a co-designer, please click here.

Moreover, the learning journey will be further developed in collaboration with the scientists, regeneration practitioners, artists and other knowledge holders who will be invited as speakers.

 

How can you join?

The course is free and open to a maximum of 200 participants to foster exchanges and collaboration. The online learning journey will take place from September to December 2026, while the in-person workshops in Paris and Berlin will be scheduled between January and February 2027. We welcome donations from the participants who can afford to support our work and pay-it-forward.
