Young Friends of the Earth Malta: Empowering Youth for Environmental Justice
Young Friends of the Earth Malta (YFoEM) is a dynamic, youth-led initiative by Friends of the Earth for young people in Malta to engage in environmental and social justice issues. As the youth branch of Friends of the Earth Malta, we aim to create spaces for learning, discussion, activism, and community building, where young people can connect, develop skills, and create meaningful change.
Past Activities
Over the last months, we’ve organised a variety of activities that reflect our commitment to sustainability, creativity, and youth empowerment.
Youth Environmental Camp
One of our most memorable events was the Youth Environmental Camp – a weekend retreat where participants explored environmental topics through workshops, discussions, games, and hands-on activities. The camp brought together young people from diverse backgrounds to connect with nature, learn about climate justice, and build a strong sense of community. It was a space for inspiration, collaboration, and developing ideas for future action.
Denim Workshop
In our effort to raise awareness about sustainable fashion, we hosted a Denim Workshop that focused on upcycling and reusing denim clothing. Participants had the opportunity to upcycle their old jeans by painting them, turning them into something new and unique. This hands-on workshop highlighted the environmental impact of fast fashion and encouraged more conscious consumer habits in a fun and engaging way.
Nature walk
Another one of our simple but meaningful activities was a Nature Walk held in Buskett. It was a relaxed day spent outdoors, where we enjoyed a peaceful walk through nature and shared a small picnic. It was a day about connecting with each other and with nature.
Future Activities
We’re always excited to welcome new faces into our community! 🌱
