School and the Regional Agricultural Institute in the city of Aosta embarked on an <b>educational programme<\/b>offering numerous opportunities for discussion and in-depth study on the topic of water. The first phase, dedicated to training, took the form of two days of debate on the physical and legal-political effects of climate change.<\/p><p>Alongside the face-to-face sessions, the students were set the task of i<b>ndependently developing water management strategies,<\/b> based on the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the aim of reducing water consumption or improving water use in their local area. The proposals were discussed with experts from ARPA Valle d\u2019Aosta and the CIMA Foundation in a direct and participatory dialogue. They were then presented in poster form during a session where all groups presented their work simultaneously prior to the final event, thereby stimulating the students\u2019 critical thinking and negotiation skills.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e36c2a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2e36c2a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8c1727 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e8c1727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The final stage, the Plenary Session, took place on 10 May 2023 at the Cittadella dei Giovani in Aosta.

In 2026, the initiative also reached Savona, in Liguria, where an event was held to mark Earth Day. The next edition, scheduled to take place in Trento-Bolzano in 2027, will mark an important new development: it will, in fact, be the first cross-border initiative of its kind, extending dialogue and youth participation beyond national borders.<\/p><p>The aim of CIMA Research Foundation is to gain an in-depth understanding of the perspectives and needs of the younger generations \u2013 those who will be most affected by the effects of climate change \u2013 by gathering their ideas and proposals for adaptation and mitigation measures relating to water. At the same time, the aim is to reach as many young people as possible, encouraging them to reflect on an urgent challenge that affects society as a whole.<\/p><p>For schools, the programme forms an integral part of the PCTO (Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation) and work-based learning programmes, offering a strong link to the real world and to the professions \u2013 scientists, environmental lawyers, science communicators \u2013 that pupils might pursue in the future.<\/p><p>From the 2025\/2026 edition onwards, the Youth COP has become an educational model driven by a joint
