The meeting took place at Campus Gotland and a total of 36 people participated. There were representatives from non-profit and public environmental organizations in Gotland, as well as international sustainability students from the master's program \u201dSustainable management\u201d. <\/p>\n
The program began with Ottilia S\u00f6derstr\u00f6m, project assistant at Leader Gute, presenting the association's new mini-support \u201dYoung Environment\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2013 This mini-support is intended to contribute to increased environmental knowledge among children and young people up to 30 years old. At the same time, it creates contacts between non-profit associations\/public activities and children\/youth. Projects that can receive this support should consist of concrete environmental initiatives and activities that combine learning with practical application, Ottilia explained.
\nAfterwards, licensed psychologist Vera Berger M\u00e5rtens talked about how to address climate emotions and support young people's engagement.
\nFollowing this, an overview of Gotland's current environmental situation was presented by the county administrative board's coordinator for environmental goals and environmental monitoring, Emilie Vejlens.
\nThe next speaker was Professor Gunilla Rosenqvist, Blue Center Gotland and head of the research station Ar. She talked about Blue Center Gotland and the concept of Blue Schools, which forms the basis for a new mini-project within the framework of \u201dYoung Environment\u201d in collaboration with Gute Gymnasiet.<\/p>\n
After the presentations, a joint needs analysis was conducted in groups with both international sustainability students and representatives from environmental organizations. This was to come up with ideas on how organizations could collaborate with children and young people to continue working on environmental issues. The conclusions and ideas from the groups were visualized and finally concretized in a model-based vision exercise for the development of environmental work in the island's rural areas \u2013 in collaboration between organizations and children\/youth.<\/p>\n
\u2013 The meeting led to many interesting visions, ideas, and proposals. In addition, new contacts were created between different actors. Hopefully, this will lead to concrete projects, some of which may be relevant for Leader Gute's new mini-support \u201dYoung Environment,\" says Ottilia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
