This is Ready to Engage
Ready to Engage helps young people deepen their understanding of climate justice while developing their own ideas for change.
Through guided learning, peer interaction, and practical project development, participants turn their initial ideas into concrete project proposals and realistic action plans.
Ready to Engage: Pathways to Climate Justice is an initiative of The Hague Humanity Hub and is funded by the European Union.
The program brings together young participants, practitioners, and experts from the climate, peace, and justice sectors to bridge the gap between learning and practice.
The program takes place at The Hague Humanity Hub, where participants come into direct contact with the city’s peace and justice network.
They meet organizations, innovators, and changemakers working on global challenges, gaining visibility, inspiration, and connections that help them find their place within a growing community dedicated to climate justice.
