GREEN YOUR LIFE!
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Dec 1, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The youth exchange 'GREEN YOUR LIFE' will take place in Slovakia from 5 to 14 September 2014. Activities will be held both in Bratislava and in Sekier in Záježová - a traditional smallholding which is a base for volunteers willing to help local community and learn through practical work. It will involve 24 young participants (between 18 and 26 years old) and 6 group leaders from Georgia, Armenia, Macedonia and Slovakia. For most of them it will be a first experience in an European project. The project will be about Eco-living. It will help participants to be more aware of environmental issues and help them find how they can, in their everyday life, be more environmentally responsible and play an active part of promoting a more sustainable future. G.R.E.E.N. will be an acronym for: G=Global warming, R=Reducing waste, E=Energy, E=Endangered species and N=Nutrition. Every day will have one of theses thematics. The youngsters will learn and discuss in an non-formal way about those 5 important issues and through workshops, role-plays, practical work and games will develop new ideas that they can implement back home with the help of their organisations. They will experiment, during the fews days of the training, an other way of living focused on sustainability and will gain new environmentally friendly habits for their every day life. During the project, they will act as Eco-designers and will produce so called 'Green card' that summarize their experiences and learning and help them share it both physically and on-line. Together they will learn about each other country and experience being part of an inter-cultural dialogue, that we believe will lead to more tolerance and cooperation.
