Free to join. Open to all young people.

Green Bridges gives you the chance to meet young people from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, exchange perspectives and work together on real questions around climate and sustainability. You can develop practical green, digital and intercultural skills, connect with an international network and gain recognition for what you learn through project micro-credentials. The exchanges are designed to be participatory, with discussion, peer learning and collaborative tasks rather than traditional lectures.

A shared idea

Green Bridges is built around a simple idea: young people should have opportunities to learn from each other and shape solutions together, regardless of where they live.

By combining virtual exchange, intercultural dialogue, climate education and practical problem-solving, the project creates a space where young people from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa can share experiences, challenge assumptions and work together on ideas for a more sustainable future.

From exchange to action

The project is co-funded by the European Union through Erasmus+, under the Virtual Exchanges action. Its project reference is 101253584 – GREEN BRIDGES.

Green Bridges focuses on topics such as climate justice, circular economy, green entrepreneurship, regenerative food systems and social innovation. Through online events and mixed-country group work, participants explore real-world challenges and develop practical ideas and solutions that can be taken further in their local communities.

Inclusion by design

A key element of the project is its emphasis on inclusive participation. The project aims for at least 50% of participants to be women and 20% to come from marginalised groups, helping create meaningful opportunities for young people whose voices are often underrepresented in international discussions on climate and sustainability.
