5 countries, 30 ecological initiatives, 50 interviews of activists, 10,000 km by train with a team of 7 young backpackers. The team Up for Europe traveled for 3 months all over Europe to meet activists who are taking actions for climate justice. Through their stories, we discovered the many ideas and strategies they are using to defend the beauty of our world and create spaces for new ways of living. From Belgium to Slovenia, from forest occupations to greenwashing festivals, the European youth is acting for climate justice.
