As part of the EU Green Diplomacy Week, the European Union in Burundi organized an event around environmental awareness at the Bujumbura Public Garden on Saturday, October 26, 2024. It is an activity organized in partnership with young people from the Network for the Promotion of Environmental Education in Burundi (RPEEBU) and the Green Belt Action for the Environment (ACVE).

This event brought together a hundred pupils and students who are members of various environmental protection clubs located in secondary and higher institutions.
Also present were associations campaigning for the environment, experts and program managers and partners implementing environmental actions supported by the European Union.

The aim was to actively engage young people in the protection of their environment by allowing them to interact with experts and representatives of sustainable development projects in the European Union. Through pleas, screenings, artistic performances including slam and songs, young people were able to exchange in a dynamic and educational setting.
Three main themes were discussed: water, biodiversity and clean energy.
