What does waste tell us about the way we live?
From plastic on the beaches of Costa do Sol to overflowing bins in city streets, waste is one of the most visible environmental challenges young people face in their communities. It is also one where local action makes a real difference.
Join us for the third LIVE-Ex Online Dialogue, dedicated to waste management. Young people and mentors from the LIVE-Ex network will share what they have learned from their own communities, discuss greener solutions and explore how waste connects to the wider climate conversation.
This session is hosted and moderated by the LIVE-Ex team in Mozambique and will be held in Portuguese, with live translation into English and French in the chat.
What to expect?
- Three knowledge-sharing presentations
- Hear from LIVE-Ex participants about waste challenges in their communities and the solutions they are working on.
- Panel discussions
- Each presentation is followed by a moderated discussion with guiding questions, so you can dig deeper into the topic.
- Interactive moments
- Share your views through live polls and a word cloud, and take part in energizers between sessions.
- A space to exchange
- Connect with young people, volunteers and organisations from across Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe who care about greener communities.
Who can join?
This event is open to young people, volunteers, youth workers, civil society organisations, institutional representatives and anyone interested in waste management, climate justice and community action.
Got a waste challenge in your own community? Bring it with you. The dialogue is a space to learn from each other.
