Au revoir, France! What an unforgettable week! đâ¨
The Prios team has officially wrapped up our very first SYSTEM HUBs student mobility (LTT 1) in Paris, and we are leaving with full hearts, brilliant ideas, and a lot of inspiration. If you've been following our journey, you know we hit the ground runningâbut we wanted to give you the ultimate highlight reel of our entire week!
We didnât just talk about changing the systemâwe put it into action. Here is a glimpse of what these incredible students (and us coordinators!) accomplished over the last five days:
Building Real Skills: Students dove head-first into hands-on workshops covering everything from Public Speaking and Policy Writing to European Citizenship and even upcycling in Sewing workshops.
Inspiring Innovations: We had a mind-blowing online exchange with a young American inventor who created a sustainable water bottle. Talk about youth leading the charge!
Culture & Policymaking: We took our big ideas straight to the top, visiting UNESCO and engaging with actual policymakers to prove that youth voices are essential in drafting environmental policies. We also took a beautiful cultural walk that ended with the historic and deeply moving Flame Rekindling Ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe.
Peer-to-Peer Power: The ultimate highlight was watching the students step into the shoes of change-makers. By the end of the week, students from Norway, France, Portugal, Slovenia, and Bulgaria weren't just participatingâthey were leading. They tackled advocacy simulations, debated real-world sustainability challenges, and shared best practices to bring back to their local communities.
(Oh, and they also literally scaled walls during a climbing activity while we coordinators hashed out our next big project deadlines!)
A massive merci to our amazing hosts at Collège Anatole France for an action-packed week.
The system won't change itself, but after spending a week with these students, we know the future is in excellent hands. Now, we head back to Norway to take everything weâve learned and start building our local Leadership Labs! Keep an eye on our feedâthe real work is just beginning!
