Thanks to activities that showcase the full spectrum of non-formal education methods, we influence the creativity, spontaneity, and openness of participants. During our activities in the “Eco Force” exchange, through non-formal education methods, we learn about various social and civic initiatives aimed at protecting the environment. We are strongly motivated to work creatively and innovatively in an international group. The mission of our project is to create an opportunity for cultural exchange, where we collectively expand our knowledge of ecology and pro-environmental movements. We learn what the idea of combating smog involves through engaging workshops, where we explore the key aspects of this concept.
The competencies, knowledge, and skills we gain during the “Eco Force” exchange are as follows:
- creative social and civic development of youth through contact with peers in international groups,
- development of social and civic competencies in promoting pro-environmental attitudes and effective methods of implementing them in practice,
- development of competencies in integrating within international groups,
- practical learning of the English language,
- learning teamwork,
- expanding knowledge about ecology,
- active and real impact on increasing awareness in local communities regarding the fight against smog, climate change, and the tangible benefits of ecological transformation,
- learning about the culture and customs of partner countries participating in the project,
- broadening horizons through international contacts,
- developing talents through social initiatives,
- acquiring knowledge about alternative models of actions counteracting air pollution,
- expanding knowledge about methods of working towards climate neutrality,
- active reflection on the opportunities offered by recycling and actions aimed at waste reduction,
- joint work towards effective promotion of the European Climate Pact,
- promotion of effective actions to limit overproduction of waste through responsible consumption of food and everyday items,
- promotion of a lifestyle based on the Zero Waste idea.
The project was funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme
