The science is crystal clear: urgent action is needed to address human-driven climate change.
Yet, a significant gap remains between the warnings issued by scientists and the actions taken by society.
The ACT-NOW project aimed to bridge this gap by using modern, experience-based tools—such as mobile augmented reality (AR) and simulation games—to help youth workers inspire and prepare young people to actively engage in protecting our planet.
Through the program, we developed innovative, youth-friendly educational tools and methods grounded in non-formal and informal learning. The project empowered young people to use mobile games as a creative and impactful way to advocate for environmental protection and sustainable development—with energy, imagination, and purpose.
