Green Action
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Green Action is an international youth exchange taking place in Poiana Negrii, a beautiful mountain village situated in the North of Romania, part of the historical region Bucovina. For 10 working days between 5 and 15 October 2014, a total of 45 people from Poland, France, Romania, Macedonia, Estonia and Italy, from which 6 are leaders and 39 are participants, shall meet in order to share experiences, learn and focus on realistic actions that promote ecology and raise awareness about harmful impact of man against the environment. Participants shall acknowledge the importance of good practices in ecology by doing concrete actions in remote mountainous and rural areas of the region, using methods specific to the non-formal education field and working as a team through values such as multiculturalism and mutual respect. The aim of our project is to establish links between participants and locals, which may become aware of how it is possible to preserve the natural environment and reduce harmful practices after we triggered their attention through the specially designed Green Actions. The main objectives of this youth exchange are the realization of a variety of Green Actions meant to promote and underline good practices that have a direct impact on the local people’s mentality and behavior, the interaction between the participants and youngsters from the local communities and the involvement of local authorities and other stake-holders as part of activities in the preparation, implementation and follow-up phases. A strong point in our strategy is the fact that we will promote the principles of European Citizenship as model of living, which for us doesn’t represent an abstract idea, but a realistic combination of positive practices that you can resort to as a citizen. Specific for Green Actions, we shall focus on ecology and preserving the nature for the future generations by taking actions that will make a difference in our communities. We are focusing on medium and long-term results by trying to change the mentality of the people in the area of the project through concrete visible actions. Also, each partner is committed to share the results of Green Action as good practice in their communities where such problems may exist.
