increased sense of responsibility for participants to advocate for environmental change

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Following YLEC-Uganda, participants expressed a sense of responsibility associated with their role as young people: “As youth we have to lead. We are so many youth and if we all really march into environmental justice I’m sure we can be able to even teach these elders and the young ones” (UGD015).

Beschreibung der Aktivität

Youth Leading Environmental Change (YLEC) education programme
YLEC is a multi-national education programme that engages university students in learning and action related to environmental issues, particularly environmental justice. Beginning in 2011, YLEC used a collaborative process (see Hickman and Riemer 2016) involving partners from six countries (i.e. Bangladesh, Canada, Germany, India, Uganda, and the U.S.A.) to design the pedagogical approach and content of a 11-unit workshop series. [...] The six countries involved in YLEC were selected purposefully to roughly represent two types of experience with climate change, the first being economically developing countries that face many direct impacts of climate change (i.e. Bangladesh, India, and Uganda), and the second being economically “developed” countries that significantly contribute to climate change without facing many direct impacts (i.e. Canada, Germany, and the U.S.A.).

Qualitative Interviewbefragungen (persönlich)
In this paper, we focus on the qualitative data collected from interviews conducted with participants approximately three months after the conclusion of the programme. The same interview guide was used in both Germany and Uganda, although adjustments were naturally made to suit the particulars of each setting.
Germany: 6 students (2 women and 4 men) Uganda: 24 students (40% women)
