Project description
The Good Life with the Climate is a two-year initiative by Agora Köln, a civic network dedicated to sustainability and participation. The project creates connections between children and young people, educators, scientists, cultural practitioners, and policymakers. Its core elements are two participatory conference formats:
- Children and Youth Conference, where young participants explore the role of climate in their lives, share visions, and are encouraged toward action.
- Specialist Conference, which brings together professionals and integrates the outcomes of the youth conference into research, cultural, and policy discussions.
The project also strengthens networks: expanding Agora Köln’s reach to include children and youth work while linking to wider stakeholders across North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). In this way, the initiative promotes empowerment, inclusion, and knowledge exchange while giving children and young people an active role in shaping future climate action.
