By engaging youth aged 14–29 from both majority and non-majority communities, the project combines environmental education with hands-on activities, including the creation of two multiethnic urban gardens, community clean-up actions, and an anti-littering campaign. Through workshops, advocacy meetings, and creative outreach tools such as a short documentary film and social media campaign, young women and men are empowered to become active agents of change in their community.
