Description
The initiative, promoted within the framework of the Alpine Regions Working Community, and supported by the territories that are part of Arge Alp, represents an important opportunity to discuss the topics of energy, sustainability and ecological transition in the Alpine territories. The selection notice concerning the Autonomous Province of Trento is aimed at identifying a maximum of four young people resident in Trentino, aged between 19 and 22 years, who will have reached the age of 2026, with a good knowledge of German, currently enrolled in a course of study and with a strong interest in energy and environmental issues.
During the workshop, the participants will be involved in interactive activities, including an innovative strategy game developed by the Vorarlberg Energy Institute, and in international discussions with peers from different Alpine regions, as well as participation in the Poolbar-Festival 2026 in Feldkirch.
The participants will actively contribute to the debate on the energy future of the Alps, bringing the point of view of the younger generation to the decision-making tables. The results of the work will be officially presented at the Arge Alp Heads of Government Conference scheduled for autumn 2026.
