Climate Action & SDGs Advocacy
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Enhance Youth Local Councils' Role in Advocating for the SDGs and Increase Awareness to Climate Change & Climate Environmental Resilience
Shiam piloted the "SDGs advocacy and Climate Change awareness" initiative, where 5 Youth Local Councils (YLCs) from Westbank and Gaza were trained on SDGs advocacy adapted to the Palestinian context. The project's participants were youth council members ages 18-24. Shiam worked with the selected youth members on designing and delivering social initiatives at local schools advocating for climate change and climate resiliency to increase awareness and support the cause. The youth members of the council designed the initiatives based on their understanding of the needs of their local communities and its connection to climate change and climate resilience and implemented them at selected local schools in the targeted communities.
Engage Youth Centers in Designing Environmental Initiatives to Sustain their Local Communities
Implemented by Shiam and in partnership with the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the Family Health International (FHI 360), within the framework of the Civic and Community Participation Project (CPCE) which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this project's aim is to increase youth participation in civic life and support their efforts for positive social and economic changes.
