During the exchange in Croatia where most of us met, we were discussing our passions, but also the problems that we are seeing in our communities and the changes that we would like to make. We really liked how we were separating thrash during the exchange, even though most of people in Croatia and our own countries don't do this. Also, during the open space, Alexandra from Italy offered workshop about upcycling that was amazing and we talked about it for the next 3 days, until the end of the exchange. On the last day of the exchange, we had the task to make a groups according to our interest and work on writing Erasmus+ exchange on which we would love to participate or organize it. It was easy decision for us to team up and we decided to focus on the topics of environment protection and finding the ways how to reduce pollution in our own local communities and subsequently on Earth. Since we all love and do art in one or the other form (photography, dance, handmade jewelry, painting), we decided to include art in our project. We believe that art can be powerful tool for youth to become active and make the change in their community, or, in our case, to raise awareness about environment protection. We decided to organize the exchange in Germany because we believe that Germany is good example of country where environment protection is important issue and we can all learn from some good practices in Germany. The main need that we want to reach with this project is: Youth in Europe are not aware about importance of environment protection or they don't know what they can do to improve the situation. The main aim of the project is: Raising awareness about environment protection and role of the youth in it Goals of our project are: 1. To show how art can be used for youth activism and discussing important topics withe the focus on environment protection 2. To give tools to youth from 7 different countries, empowering them to make the change in their local community 3. To share with 43 young people and group leaders how recycling and upcycling can help us produce less garbage and use our resources in a better way and to help them share this results with their peers and other youth from their local communities 4. To create safe space where youth can explore their creativity and try different forms of art and share their culture and values with others
