The world of uncertainties is experiencing increasing challenges due to climate change and armed violence. The project Ecopeace Teen Cafe started with the vision to create an inclusive and safe space for young people to have dialogue and equip them to take action for a better and more peaceful world. Young people in the Ecopeace Teen Cafe are trying to find solutions to the most pressing challenges existing in society. They believe compassionate climate actions for the planet and community of life bring peace, and harmony among all life forms. The way humans come together for a common goal unites humanity without any form of discrimination. Ecopeace Teen Cafe is trying to turn the challenges of climate change into a new opportunity to create a global connection by offering a space to bring people together without any boundaries through an online platform.
