Eco(nomi)nation: A Youth Initiative for Sustainability
From July 2nd to 10th, the vibrant village of Kranevo, Bulgaria, became a hub of activity as 42 young participants from across Europe gathered for the Eco(nomi)nation project, part of the Erasmus+ program. This initiative aimed to equip youth with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat climate change and promote sustainable living practices.
During the event, participants engaged in a variety of hands-on workshops, dynamic discussions, and cross-cultural exchanges, all geared toward fostering active citizenship and environmental responsibility. The event encouraged participants to explore and implement innovative green practices, promoting a spirit of stewardship toward the planet.
Highlights of the project included:
•Hands-On Workshops: Interactive workshops allowed participants to delve into practical aspects of sustainability, including waste reduction, renewable energy, and eco-friendly lifestyle choices. These activities encouraged collaboration and creativity, helping the young participants develop concrete skills that can be applied in their daily lives.
•Dynamic Discussions: Through open discussions and brainstorming sessions, participants exchanged ideas on climate action and environmental sustainability. These dialogues fostered critical thinking and collective problem-solving, empowering participants to take an active role in addressing global challenges.
•Cultural Exchange: Participants from diverse countries had the opportunity to share their unique cultural perspectives on environmental issues, promoting intercultural understanding and highlighting the universal nature of sustainability efforts.
The Eco(nomi)nation project not only provided the participants with a comprehensive understanding of sustainable living, but it also strengthened their sense of community, leaving them inspired to take positive action in their own countries. By the end of the event, they had formed lasting friendships, united by their shared commitment to creating a more sustainable future.
