The project consists of three main stages: understanding (WP1), supporting (WP2, WP3), and raising awareness (dissemination). WP1 involves conducting a state-of-the-art analysis with based on a survey of young adults in Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland. WP2 involves developing a digital toolkit called UP-FEEL, which will provide theoretical knowledge on climate and eco-anxiety and practical techniques to deal with it. WP3 involves the development of UP-FEEL podcasts, which aim to engage young adults and raise awareness about climate distress. The main outcomes include a joint state-of-the-art report, a UP-FEEL practical toolkit, and a series of six UP-FEEL podcasts, all of which will be available in English, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Finnish.
Objectives of the project:
Participant level:
– to provide young adults with the tools to deal with and control emotions that manifest as eco- or climate anxiety and build their resilience.
Organisation level:
– to strengthen and develop Nordic cooperation in Adult education to incorporate knowledge of climate distress in their daily work
– to create and implement innovative digital training materials in adult learning, attract more adult learners, promote lifelong learning and disseminate it in local networks.
Regional level:
– to better understand feelings, thoughts, and impacts associated with climate change among young adults (aged 20-35) in Lithuania, Finland, and Latvia.
– to raise public awareness, provoke dialogue and foster recognition among those who experience climate distress but might be unaware of its cause or ways to deal with them.
– to promote the recognition of eco- or climate anxiety as a societal phenomenon.
