Project Summary

The need identified is represented by an irresponsible behavior that people have regarding the environment. This
is caused by a low degree of involvement that youngsters have in the various activities with environmental
character, emphasizing the indifference to environmental problems and poor capitalization of natural resources.
Informing, motivating and providing the necessary instruments for the participants represent an efficient long-term
investment that helps to produce improvements in the environment.

The purpose of the project::

We want the young generation to be aware of the actual problems the environment faces and debate on climate
changes, nature protection and biodiversity. The main goal is to find some practical solutions that can be
implemented in the communities they belong, to solve the problems with the help of non-formal education.

Objectives:
- realizing the effects of polluting the environment and managing to make a change;
- awareness of interdependence of the quality between the environment and the quality of life through the
adoption of attitudes for the protection of the nature;
- training of skills and behavior necessary to improve the quality of the environment;
- motivating and encouraging youngsters to implement new environment projects in their communities.
Young people will have the opportunity to discuss the importance and necessity of their long term involvement in
the actual problems of the nature in their communities and find efficient ways to solve them.
Protecting the environment is a fundamental problem of contemporary society. Our project wants to promote the
actions of the young people and their aptitudes they will receive during the project.
The project wants to put a large emphasis on elaborate creative and innovative solutions by creating a video
guide of good practices by which young people will send a message to the community. The guide will be realized
by the participants which will come up with the solutions.

Number of participants: 5 young people of 15-18 y.o. + 1 leader.

Countries involved: Finland, Spain, Italy, Lithuania.

Activities: presentations about saving of environment in the countries of the participants, discussions of the
importance and necessity of their long term involvement in the actual problems of the nature in their communities
and find efficient ways to solve them. Art of Reuse -(painting of old T-shirts) and pantomime workshops, story

participants through food, music, dances, videos, games, workshops. Yoga and body-balance lessons. Video

Results and impact attained: The participants have got more responsible attitude to the environment and
consuming. They have got an experience of telling about nature saving to other people, and also to children, by
non-formal methods. They can use non-formal methods and workshops results in their communities. We have got
