Youth Exchange "Green Strips" aims to raise awareness about the ecological impact that any individual leaves behind him, but also to let young participants to the exchange to think about a direct way to sensibilize people in a creative way. We tought that a good creative solution to communicate the importance of nature and the environmental issues the planet is facing was through the creation of comic-strips, a medium which can easily connect young and less young people, and also a medium which can absorb any kind of message and way to spread it. Therefore, the main aim of our project is to “Encourage young people to get more involved in the protecting environment of their community, and to raise awareness among others”. In order to achieve our aim, we set the following objectives: - exchange information/knowledge about ways to protect the environment - raise awareness among young people about the importance of sustainable living - stimulate their creativity leading to the creation of different comic-strips with environmental topics, to be disseminated in different partner countries - to foster sense of initiative of youngsters - promote values and objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme Sustainable living, waste management, recycling or upcycling are terms we should be familiar with. It is a known fact that during the recycling of plastic waste, it is used about 88% less energy than the production of new plastic, so valuable resources are saved by recycling. However, it is recycled only about a third material which is suitable for such a treatment. By our project we would like to contribute to decrease the difference among European countries by exchanging good practices and implementing them in other countries.
