This 6 weeks campaign aims to gather lesson plans from the coaches and teachers that focus on climate change or one of the specific motions of the Youth Forum. We will evaluate the lesson plans every week (6 weeks in total) and announce the winners via the YF Newsletter. The author of the best lesson plan of all 6 weeks will be announced and awarded at the closing ceremony. Apart from public recognition, each winner will receive a book of his/her choice from the Idebate press.
