Testimonials
“The WWF Youth Advocacy Toolkit was so helpful for brainstorming and creating a project and it is also useful for my university projects because it is a great and easy path to follow and define a certain problem, idea or solution.”
The WWF Youth Advocacy Toolkit was instrumental in refining my action project ideas. It provided a comprehensive framework, practical skills, and real-life examples that empowered me to effectively advocate for environmental issues. Highly recommended!
“The WWF Youth Advocacy Toolkit was useful and helped me get started with something I burn for and could combine it with other aspects to help both society and the nature. It gave me new aspects about how hard it is to accomplish something but yet so interesting to continue.”
