Youth We Can! (YWC!) began in 2012 as the youth component of Convergences. Its purpose is to promote initiatives and motivate the new generation to act for a fairer and more sustainable world. Within this framework, we organise different events (aperitifs, festivals, evenings, etc.) throughout the year, with the aim of inspiring and informing the youth, especially by highlighting young people who are already active and their supporting structures.

To do so, YWC!’s way of operating is to mobilise various youth organisations to co-construct activities, also contributing to creating and strengthening collective dynamics.

YOUTH WE CAN!’ s afterworks

Once a month, Youth We Can! organises an afterwork where young project leaders come together over a drink to share their experiences and discuss a particular topic.

1Planet4All project

The 1Planet4All project, led by Youth We Can! for Convergences, is part of the DEAR (Development Education and Awareness Raising) programme funded by the European Commission. It is implemented by a consortium of 14 organisations in 12 EU Member States.

Its main goals are:

• Raising awareness about climate change among young people (15-35 years old);
• Strengthening their capacities and equip them to act;
• Supporting their initiatives.

Within this framework, activities of various sizes are planned throughout metropolitan France, alongside extensive communication actions.
