What is hidden behind the products we buy? How do our everyday choices affect people, communities and the environment? And how can youth workers make responsible consumption relevant and engaging for young people? These questions guided the Consumo Justo project throughout its two-year journey. The project brought together five partner organisations from France, Spain, Latvia, Poland and Norway to exchange knowledge, test educational methods and develop practical resources fo

How can young people become more resilient to misinformation rather than simply learning how to identify whether a single piece of content is true or false? And how can youth workers create spaces where young people are not only learners, but active participants in developing solutions? These questions were at the centre of the “Living Labs for Media Resilience” international training, held in Bucharest, Romania, from 23–28 August 2026. The five-day programme brought together

Young people are often invited to learn about sustainability, but they are not always given a meaningful role in deciding what sustainable action should look like in their communities. The Consumo Justo European Action Plan took a different approach. Instead of creating recommendations for young people, the project invited them to identify problems, develop local responses and decide which actions would be realistic in their own countries. The result is a European framework f

What is behind the products we use every day? How are our choices connected to environmental, social and economic impacts? And how can responsible consumption be introduced through practical and engaging learning experiences? These questions were explored during three Consumo Justo multiplier events organised by Ecological Future Education in Latvia. Two events involved a total of 33 teachers, while an additional event brought together 10 young people in Gulbene. The events i

What do the Sustainable Development Goals have to do with everyday life in a small Latvian municipality? How do decisions made at European level influence local communities? And where do young people fit into these decisions? These questions were explored during two SDGs Intelligence Cards in Action local follow-up workshops, organised by EFE in Gulbene, Latvia, as part of the Youth4GreenPolicy project. The workshops brought together 23 young people from the local community t

How can we make sustainability education easier to integrate into everyday youth work? The Consumo Justo App was created as a practical digital tool for youth workers, educators and young people who want to explore fair, ethical and local consumption without having to search through dozens of different resources. The app brings together educational resources, practical activities, good practices and local alternatives in one accessible space. Instead of focusing only on theor

How do we know whether the information we see online can be trusted? How quickly do we form opinions based on headlines, social media posts, or incomplete information? And what happens when misinformation looks convincing? These were some of the questions explored during the TRUTH4YOUTH Digital Disciplined Citizenship Sessions, organised by EFE. The two local workshops brought together 26 young people aged 16–24 to strengthen their critical thinking, media literacy, and abili

What does responsible consumption really mean in everyday life? What happens before a product reaches us, and where does it go after we throw it away? And how can youth workers make these complex questions engaging for young people? These topics were at the centre of the Consumo Justo Experimentation in Latvia, a five-day international training organised by EFE in Riga from 15 - 19 June 2026. The training brought together youth workers and project partners from Latvia, France
