Get volunteers from around the world

Global Project

Eat 4 Change

The volunteering project is part of a larger EU co-funded, WWF-led international project, also called Eat4Change, which strives to engage citizens, particularly youth, to take an active role in society and change their diets towards more plant-based for the wellbeing of people and the planet. The volunteering projects in schools have the same goal: to bring awareness to high-school students about the importance and impact of their diets on the environment and to engage them to take action towards a more “planet-based” diet.
