A project to challenge our consumption behaviors and inspire responsible consumers' choices
8-9 May, Amman, Jordan

In view of the current deterioration of our global natural resources, part of which is due to the patterns of consumption attributed mainly and practiced by youth who form one fifth of the global population the youthXchange (YXC) global campaign was initiated by UNESCO and UNEP to address the youth community all over the world, in 2002.

As Jordan, the Arab countries and Mediterranean in general are greatly concerned about consumption issues, especially in link to their diminishing resources, MIO-ECSDE and 6 partners from the Mediterranean took the initiative to address young generation and introduce the YXC kit that supplies youth with simple tips in an appealing way.

The Launching events of the YXC kit took place on 8-9 May 2010 in Amman, Jordan, with a great participation and interest from the Jordanian educational community on the issue consumption.
