The project in a few words
Green and Fair is a 10-day youth exchange organized by Associazione Kora in Passignano sul Trasimeno (Italy) in February 2023, focused on the topic of climate change and the different consequences it has on human rights.
How is climate change affecting the rights of workers in the global south? Or the rights of people living in areas strongly affected by its consequences? How can we protect nature and guarantee it the rights that our legislations grant it? The project aims to open a discussion on the social, economic and human consequences that climate change has, and how this affects human rights, in order to think about what we can do as a society to ensure that they are respected.
Main Objectives

- To open the discussion about human rights and the way climate change affects them

Hosting Organisation
Associazione Kora was founded in August 2015 to promote social and cultural awareness for its members (mainly youth) through outdoor life, socialisation opportunities, nutrition and sustainability. Kora is situated in Passignano sul Trasimeno in the educational farm “La Buona Terra”, where it collaborates with other entities who have their activities on the farm. Kora was founded to offer activities that neither the cooperative nor the agricultural company can carry out.
