Amazons Project

Amazons is a Cooperation Partnership in Youth Project, co-funded by the European Union. It aims to develop ways of enhancing young women’s and girls’ leadership in climate and environmental action. It does so through research, education, mentoring, and international cooperation. Together with partners from Poland, Spain, Portugal, Brazil and the Netherlands, we aim to build stronger communities and foster sustainable change at local, national and European levels.
