The idea for this project came during one of the team building organized by Naturkultur in February 2019. We were talking how we want to become more active on local level and we found out from Naturkultur team about Solidarity projects and opportunities that it gives to youth like us. After researching more about the concept, we decided to write a project that will help youth from different countries to become more active on local level and to get tools and learn ways how to put our ideas into reality. We see ESC Solidarity Projects as a perfect way that can give us much needed push at the beginning at help us make sustainable local actions and projects. The main objective of the project is 1.
