ACT Series – Awareness, Change & Transformation

Together, we don’t just talk about change — we ACT.

ACT SERIES – Awareness, Change & Transformation

Empowering youth and youth workers to shape a greener, fairer, and more inclusive Europe.

The ACT Series is a trilogy of Erasmus+ projects developed by Associação Nó Górdio (Portugal), under the 2025-1-PT02-KA151-YOU-000297099 project big umbrella
Each project addresses one of Europe’s core challenges — education, sustainability, and solidarity — through youth participation, intercultural learning, and community impact.

Together, they form a journey: from learning (ACT+), to transforming habits (ACT NOW), to changing the world (ACT TOGETHER).
