The Earth Advocacy, 6-month mentorship programme empowered young people, volunteers, activists, CCIVS member organisations and individuals to plan their local actions and to become Living Earth Ambassadors. In partnership with the LIFE programme of the European Union and The Living Earth Campaign (LIVE) which is the vehicle that CCIVS used to continue with the advocacy work for the Soil4Life Manifesto so that it can be taken to regional, local, national and international decision-makers.
Two experts on soil ecology, and advocacy mentored the participants in bi-monthly (every 2 weeks) sessions that empowered them to understand soil, ecology and advocacy, and to create and implement local actions, report on their actions and engage local/regional/national decision-makers.
The final aim is to share a common vision and to support young people and activists who speak out and take actions on behalf of Earth by channeling their energy and enthusiasm to advocate for their own cause and to create an impact.
