Generation Earth promotes empowerment
Generation Earth works on the bottom-up principle – we always make decisions together. With us, every voice is heard and everyone can contribute with their own ideas and perceptions.
Partners and supporters
WWF Austria is our parent organisation. We support each other in many ways.WWF supports us financially in the form of project funding, but also with resources and the expertise of the WWF staff. Since 2020 parts of our activities has been funded by the international WWF project Eat4Change. On the other hand, through us, WWF gets a direct connection to young, motivated people who want to make a difference.
Our funding comes from various sources – both governmental and private. WWF Austria is the largest supporter of our youth program. Additional funding for international events often comes from EU grants. National events are also sometimes supported by grants from the respective federal state. Companies also support us time and again in the form of in-kind contributions. In addition, our members themselves contribute to the funding of events through collected participation fees.
In partnership with
We partner with a number of organizations that also work with youth and young adults as well as other WWF offices within and outside Europe, numerous international NGOs, and many more.
ACTION LEADER TRAINING
The Action Leader Training is Generation Earth’s training course that provides young people with the necessary skills to carry out projects in the environmental and conservation field. The different trainings take place during the school or university months. The participants organize the weekends themselves, set the topics and seek experts for support. Each training is thus individually oriented to the needs of the group. Register directly!
GOAL OF THE TRAINING
The Action Leader Training is about supporting, training and developing an international network of motivated and committed young people. We want to empower them to drive change by developing and implementing projects in teams or on their own – in their village, city and beyond! Our long-term vision is a society of active citizens where people who have participated in our training make a difference in politics, education, business and beyond, carrying with them the motivation and positive experiences of Generation Earth.
