The "Forge" is an annual cycle of theoretical and practical training for young people organized by the European Union House.

In the topic of the green course, young people will learn about the basic principles of the circular economy, the basic directions of climate change, biodiversity and a waste-free lifestyle and their participation as an individual in these processes. The topics of digitization will address the issues of technology efficiency and the importance of security. There will also be talk of digital solutions, which are essential in the fight against climate change and can serve as a platform for greening the economy and society.
