CONFERENCE WORKSHOP<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Empowering Agency, Strengthening Participation: Young People from Disadvantaged Backgrounds as Architects of a Sustainable Future<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PartWiss 2025 | \u201eResearching Together: Insights from Citizen Science, Participatory and Transdisciplinary Research\u201c <\/strong><\/strong>
12.-14.11.2025 | Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research | Leipzig<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Young people affected by inequality and exclusion are the least likely to be reached by climate engagement. When daily life is shaped by economic pressure, limited opportunities, low political trust and a sense of disconnection, climate action can feel distant from more immediate concerns. This workshop starts from that reality and asks how socially disadvantaged young adults can become active participants in shaping a sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on findings from our transdisciplinary scoping project \u201cWhat Can We Do Already? Young People Between Climate Crisis, Social Disadvantage and Shaping the Future\u201d<\/em>, our workshop highlights the links between social disadvantage, lower psychosocial resilience, political disconnect and limited climate engagement. It focuses, in particular, on 18\u201325-year-olds with lower levels of formal education, from rural areas, East German contexts and migrant family backgrounds, and explores how open, peer-led formats can foster both climate action and civic participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed as a space for exchange and co-creation, the workshop turns research into practice. Through interactive methods such as a World Caf\u00e9 and the \u201cClimate Listening Game,\u201d participants will develop ideas for projects that strengthen self-efficacy, dialogue and bottom-up leadership. Key insight: Lasting climate engagement depends on social inclusion, democratic participation and people feeling that their voices matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
