The “Save Nature for Safe Future - youth exchange going to be organized in summer 2019 by Sustainable Ormánság Nonprofit Ltd. in co-operation with 9 partner countries ( IT, PT, ES, D, GR, PL, BG, RO, CR, PT). Our main topics are this time protecting natural and cultural values in Europe, realize creative ideas of (unemployed and socially or geographically disadvantaged) young people, enhance inclusive eco-conscious thinking and raise awareness of EU citizenship. In addition the multi-cultural partnership ensure intercultural dialogue and tolerance between participants. Our goal is to enhance media literacy, critical thinking and sense of initiative of young people, promoting healthy lifestyle and pay attention on our eco-footprint. Our project is connected to the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 because we are protecting natural and cultural values. We will use non-formal and experiential learning methods in our workshops to reach our goals ensure opportunity for participants to explore other cultures, elminate prejudices, respect otherness and discuss different topics.We are offering for unemployed and marginalized young people crative ideas, tangible knowledge which increase their competences and sense of initiative. We will also focus on importance of local products, our eco-footprint and wasteful consumerism. Youngsters who are coming from different cultural background will learn from each other and from skilled and experienced workshop leaders in 4 different creative workshops parallel from 16th until 29th of July using non-formal methods to develop their skills. In "Hand made local products" workshop participants will learn about traditional crafts like soap maker and make from local plants cleaning products, tea and creams to enhance creative entrepreneurship. In the "Plant Book" workshop participants will create an album with photos which will include local plants, herbs and flowers with short description how we can use them for different purposes. Our goal in the "Media" workshop is to improve media literacy and critical thinking through activities like creating short videos, photos and posts on different social networks. The team of "DIY" workshop will renovate old fishing piers and build fishing huts from recycled materials, participants will learn practical knowledge example how to use different machines and experience creative building methods. Parallel with workshops we invite participants for collective discussion. Our goal is focusing on critical questions, like what can we do on personal level for sustainability, for protecting our environment, for solidarity and for social inclusion. We will use word cafe method and organize also a "Disaster Day" a kind of simulation game, where participants will experience how is the life without modern technology like internet and electricity and they can revaluate eco-conscious usage of them in future.
