About the Project

EYE aims to engage young people and youth organisations in the ecological transition of the Green Deal through participation, learning, and concrete action. The project offers an innovative, challenging and engaging gamification approach to raise awareness among young people about the challenges of the Green Deal and encourages them to become actors in the ecological transition. The core of the project is a mega game implemented via parallel youths’ exchanges in several countries.

The core of the project features a large-scale Mega Game and parallel Youth Exchanges, where participants collaborate to develop creative solutions for a greener future. This immersive approach makes complex environmental issues accessible and fun, fostering a strong sense of European identity and shared responsibility.
