Abstract

The present article addresses the innovative contexts which are generated at the Climántica’s Youth Camps. A deeper approach is provided through a case study regarding the participant’s appreciation of the First Ibero-American Climántica’s Youth Camp in San José (Costa Rica), which received the maximum patronage of the UNESCO. The article explains the evolution of the design of this type of Youth Camps, which started in the school year 2007-2008. The target of the Camps is to investigate new ways in which students must learn in order to become creative leaders and effective communicators to make our society aware of climate change throughout the development of awareness raising products. It also includes the evolution of the participants’ selection process of the Youth Camp which, initially, focused on face-to-face author meetings in Galicia (Spain). Since 2011 it has been developed through an online platform for multimedia products. This fact has a facilitated its internationalization process.
