About the Programme
Ready to Engage is a two-month youth programme designed to help young people move from climate concern to concrete action. Through workshops, mentorship, and collaboration with experts, participants develop their own climate justice initiatives and gain the skills to bring them to life.

Focusing on the intersection of climate change, inequality, and global justice, the programme provides practical tools, guidance, and connections within The Hague’s peace and justice ecosystem.

What You’ll Gain

• A project proposal ready to take forward
• Practical tools to design and test initiatives
• Guidance from experts and mentors
• A supportive peer network
• Connections within the climate, peace, and justice community
• Confidence to act as a change maker

Who Should Apply?
Young people (15–30) who:

• Care about climate change and global justice
• Have an idea—or want to develop one
• Are motivated to turn concern into action
• Are curious and eager to learn
• No prior experience is required.

How It Works
Explore – Understand climate change as a justice issue
Develop – Build your idea into a structured initiative
Act – Connect, refine, and present your project

Why Join?
Many young people feel the urgency of the climate crisis but lack clear pathways to act. Ready to Engage offers the structure, support, and network needed to turn ideas into real-world impact.
