Thrilled to announce the upcoming launch event for a facilitators' guidebook on youth and agroecology which has been developed by partner organisations of DKA Austria in South Asia through the RAISE Consortium. The RAISE Consortium is a network of networks supported by the Swiss Development Cooperation.

This guidebook sheds light on the often-overlooked importance of children and youth as essential stakeholders in transformative change processes. It emphasizes active citizenship and youth empowerment and engages adolescents and youth for agroecology based on various modules. 
The guidebook is intended for facilitators in rural areas. It includes a collection of methods anchored in the 13 Principles of Agroecology and a food systems perspective and is based on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). It has been developed with the participation of local youth and facilitators.

During the launching event, the facilitators will present the guidebook and listen to the perspectives of youths who had been part of its development. They will also look at other experiences of networks from the Philippines (SEARICE) and Africa (Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa) and their work on youth and agroecology.

The main language of the event will be English, with Zoom translation channels to Nepali, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Spanish.
