Objectives

We have entered into a comfortable era - much of the products and services we use are just bank card pin entry away. Usually packaged in plastic and produced miles away, maybe even another continent, where it is cheaper to do so. We aim to raise awareness of the harm caused to ourselves and to the environment by capitalistic consumer lifestyle. More importantly, we learn how to live with a minimal ecological footprint. We visit several places in Estonia using environmentally friendly bicycle transport and try to live as close to a zero-waste lifestyle as we can while having a good time and learning side-by-side with other participants. For example, we also eat and cook food by ourselves from local ingredients. We are also thinking more broadly and developing a social enterprise idea/design that will make life in our area more sustainable in terms of natural and environmental resources. Remember, the change starts with ourselves, only in that way we can make a great impact! Objectives: Learn about sustainable and zero-waste lifestyles, Gain knowledge about the ecological footprint and how to reduce it, Getting to know the concept of ecovillages, Develop critical thinking through the topic of a sustainable lifestyle, To develop entrepreneurship, to become acquainted with the principles and opportunities of sustainable social enterprise operation, Supporting non-formal learning by recognizing self-learning through key competencies of the Youthpass certificate, Develop organizational and leadership skills by carrying out a variety of workshops and activities, Support intercultural dialogue.
