This project will organise a conference aimed at youngsters to promote better understanding of the issues raised by climate change trough debates and interaction with scientists. On 7 and 8 November, about 50 young people and 12 teachers from across Europe will gather to learn more about these issues and to discuss their implication on our daily lives. While youngsters will enrich their views through discussions with scientists and people from various EU countries, invited experts will also benefit from hearing first-hand youngsters views and concerns regarding climate change. Across the EU there are currently 500,000 unfilled vacancies in information and communication technologies. One third of the French researchers will retire between now and 2010.
Statistics are similar across Europe.
7,500 teachers will retire before 2008.
