Green Hope Foundation

Young people are amongst the largest stakeholders of civil society. Yet, we are amongst the least represented and do not have a voice in determining our future. We have immense potential and possess the capability to bring about change.

Green Hope believes in providing a platform of engagement to young people , in particular to children , so that they are empowered in driving change in civil society. We believe, that as generations of the future , we need to play a determining role in the sustainable development dialogue. This forms the basis of all our "on the ground" campaigns . Our work is based on a bottom up approach whereby our young members work "hands on" on different campaigns thereby gaining the experience of becoming changemakers.

Engagement Modes :

 

• Environment Academy : One of our key modes of                                                                   engagement are  through our "environment academies".                                                   Conceptualised and delivered entirely by us, young                                                       people, these are tailormade events, ranging from a                                                 few hours to whole day workshops . The events are                                                       conducted by our young members who get trained on                                                   how to make and deliver presentations , thus                                                   developing their leadership skills and providing them                                    with an unique opportunity of addressing and engaging their                                                   peers . Our target audiences were initially schools but                                                 now we have received invitations to conduct such events for corporates as well.
