VVOB is one of the implementing partners of the KIC-CCE (Keep It Cool – Climate Change Education) climate change education and advocacy project, with an emphasis on mitigation and adaptation. The project is funded by the government of Flanders. VVOB’s Chantal Snyman said it was all about using schools and educators to enable young people through “curriculum-activated climate-change programmes”.

Judges’ comments

  • Very broad-based and inspiring new knowledge and contributing to change of attitudes
  • Excellent example of an upstream, strategic solution to empower young people and increase adaptative capacity across society
  • The youth and secondary education sector’s voices are often drowned out by more privileged voices, so this initiative is as important as it is well conceived and thought through
