The conference is part of the ELCRA Project. Its full title is 
Environmental Literacy in Higher Education Context for Preventing 
Violent Radicalization in Climate Activism.

The project aims to understand students' attitudes and opinions on the 
issue of environmental sustainability and the fight against climate 
change, studying the phenomenon of youth participation in environmental 
activism movements as a preventive measure against radicalization that 
can lead to violence. Based on this database and research, the project 
aims to contribute to the development of valid theories and 
methodologies to support each local community in its active commitment 
to the ecological transition.
