Considering the network’s objective to tackle poverty reduction and health promotion, the project sought to provide partners and stakeholders with new skills, experiences and resources in the field of Sustainable food production and Bioconstruction. Under the IVS for Climate Justice campaign (http://ccivs.org/ivsforclimatejustice) the project bought together different IVS networks and engaging volunteers with local communities to work on grassroots projects that combine manual work and awareness raising actions, including climate change, carbon offset, environmental sustainability, protection of ecosystems, water and soil management and conservation.The aims & objectives of this project were to:• develop IVS organisations’ youth workers and trainers capacity of acting as multipliers in their regions and in their organisations• raise awareness of the work of the IVS network on Climate Justice and towards the attainment of the SDGs through providing spaces and data for visibility and networking on an international & local level• strengthen participation in the global IVS network and connection between organisations who may also make part of different networks who would not normally work together and with external stakeholders• strengthen cooperation between the formal and non-formal education sectors• enable IVS organisations to use monitoring & impact measurement tools• create inclusive environments for young people with fewer opportunities from local communities, integrating them in the follow-up actions of the project• revalorise traditional / alternative farming and construction techniques• stimulate the development of innovative follow-up processes with online and offline tools which will remain in place once the project is over• raise awareness about the effects unsustainable food production and housing and their contribution to Climate Change In order to reach the objectives, the project incorporated the following five phases:Visibility and networking: Conference (21 - 25 April 2018) on the Role of IVS and Climate Justice including a Forum ‘Just Volunteers: The Transformational Power of International Voluntary Actions for Climate Justice and Freedom of Movement’ in UNESCO.
