Start the Change! Project

Project duration: 2017-2020

"Start the Change!" (STC) is a 3-year global education project co-funded by the European Commission and implemented in the 12 countries Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, United Kingdom, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia and Malta.

​

“Start the Change!" aims to raise European citizens’ awareness of the importance of a joint effort to contribute to ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring peace and prosperity for all, as stated in the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations.

​

With the collaboration of teachers and educators, "Start the Change!" proposes a replicable educational model to increase the engagement of students and young people within their communities. At the same time the project aims to strengthen networks among schools, organisations and local authorities.

​

The proposed “citizenship paths” invite young people aged 15 to 24 to explore the reality in which they live to reflect on the relationship between migration and global inequality as well as to actively participate in starting the change and supporting sustainable development.
