Volunteers will support the activities of Giustizia Climatica Ora! Catania, which aims to empower young people to become protagonists of the ecological transition. They operate in a territory characterised by severe climate risks and social challenges, and they address these through an intersectional approach that links climate justice with social equity.

Volunteers will support the preparation and implementation of environmental education workshops and non-formal activities with young people and the local community, as well as awareness-raising campaigns, public events and community initiatives on environmental and social issues.

Volunteers will support local research and community mapping activities, including field observations, interviews, questionnaires and the collection of information about environmental issues, and sustainable services.
