PLANET ONE
4 Years. 6 Countries. One Global Project.
Planet One – an initiative to support the growing global youth movement for climate justice. For the past 4 years, the project has sparked youth-led climate action across six countries, empowering over ten thousands of young changemakers to take bold action for climate justice.
Based on the makerspace culture’s philosophy of creating common physical places and providing tools for learning-by-doing, makerspaces in six countries have offered drop-in, a bookable space, a learning program and youth-driven projects.
Why?
Planet One was an initiative centered around the transformative power of collective action, and the mission was rooted in the urgent need for global climate justice. We recognize that the future of our planet depends on the actions we take today. Our commitment is not just about saving the environment; it’s about empowering the next generation to be catalysts for change.
The conviction is that youth hold the key to a sustainable future, and by joining the climate justice movement, they can shape a world where environmental stewardship is a shared responsibility.
At Planet One, the goal was not just to advocate for change, but to foster a community where every individual, especially the youth, is equipped and inspired to be a driving force in the fight against climate change.
Who?
Planet One was a collaborative project between Fryshuset, Greenpeace and APY – three organizations with long experience and strengths in meeting, engaging and building platforms for young people to carry out advocacy work. The project was aimed at young people between 15- 25 years old, but all ages have been welcome!
