The discussion fora belonging to the Young Minds project 2004

This area is hosting students and teachers discussions related to the main topics of the Young Minds 2004 project. Click on the menus on the left to enter different discussion "rooms". The first two rooms are for all the discussions related to the two topics. The "Teacher's forum", as the title indicates, is for discussions among the teachers and between the teachers and the coordinating team. 

JOIN THE DEBATE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE

 

The "Student Voices" section of the Forum is open for all young people in Europe and in the whole world. In this section, the "Young Minds"  project initiated the following four issues to provide space for young people's voices:

 

1. A better future: Suggest one or more things that the Environmental Ministers (and the European governments) can do to protect the environment and help create better future!

 

2. If you were a Minister: If you were Minister of Environment - what would you do to protect the environment and help create better future?

 

3. Involve Ministers: Suggest one or more things that the Young People can do to involve the Environmental Ministers (and the European governments) in protecting the environment and creating better future!

 

4. Involve Young People: Suggest one or more things that the Environmental Ministers (and the European governments) can do to involve young people in protecting the environment and creating better future!
