In October 2021, the UNW launched the new “Climate Trainees” project, which aims to increase the awareness of young professionals about the need for sustainable development and to support concrete commitment in professional and private environments.
The “climate trainees” are supported by the Mindchangers project, which is co-financed by the European Union through the DEAR program and is implemented in Baden-Württemberg by the Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ) and the Baden-Württemberg State Ministry .
Over six project days - spread over a year - the participating trainees are sensitized to recognize the connection between global problems, climate protection and their own work and lifestyle through theoretical and practical input as well as excursions to exciting institutions and companies. The project days are intended to encourage the trainees as sustainability multipliers to develop concrete starting points and ideas for their private or company environment and to tackle their first activities.
