The GET Youth Action summer camp, organised by the GET Spain team in Pamplona from August 18th to 25th, concluded after several intense days of work, community living, and creativity. The experience left behind valuable learning and shared moments that reflect young people’s commitment to the major global challenges.
Throughout the sessions, participants worked with the Teaching and Learning Units (TLUs) of Global Education Time, focusing on climate change, migration, and inequalities. Debates and group activities helped bring these contents closer to participants’ own realities. In this context, the wildfires in Spain and the support provided by Coopera – one of the Spanish project partners – volunteers in different areas, became a concrete example that served as a basis for collective reflection. Young people discussed how to respond to environmental emergencies and how solidarity can become a driving force for social transformation.
The camp concluded with an excursion to Murillo de Río Leza, where some of the participants put into practice what they had learned by recording audiovisual material for the final videos. It was a day that combined creativity, direct contact with nature, and the development of clear messages about the role that young people can play in addressing global challenges.
“We want what we did here to reach more young people, so they can see that we are not just spectators but part of the change,” one participant stated during the recording.
Beyond the summer experience, the camp was consolidated as a youth platform where ideas turned into real proposals, showing that with initiative and collective work, young people can generate real impact.
Through the GET project, we bring current issues into classrooms and foster youth action across Europe, enabling young people and teachers to reflect on climate change, inequalities, migration, and the interconnected questions.
