Youth For Nature - Green Society in Action
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jun 1, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Within nine days of 3 exchanges were held in three countries such as Turkey, Italy and Albania, the participants were encouraged to take part in different non-formal activities and through them to get to know more about different ecological issues as well as about different attitudes of European countries to the main ecological problems as recycling, or looking for alternative sources of energy. The participants did not just take part in discussion or in workshops. Moreover they had a chance improve their creative skills and together create new art through creative recycling techniques. Besides the ecological workshops and creative recycling activities the participants had an opportunity to learn about photography and to get to know basic photographic skills, because photography is not just the way how to document the process of change plastic bottles to art piece, but it is also way how to document the life on our Planet, the life which needs to be protected. At the end of the project the participants had an opportunity to connect ecology, creativity and photography and share their new knowledge through ecological exhibition with local communities of their countries.
