Through the spirit of active European citizenship, "Green Future" exchange aimed to underline the importance of environmental awareness practices in rural areas by the young participants through creative campaigns, conducted using methods of non-formal education and through concrete actions to reduce the negative impact caused of man on the natural environment. At the same time, we wanted a better communication and to create a durable link between the young participants of the project and local residents. The main activities of the program were: agreeing and taking as inspiration the spirit of European Citizenship (which included: putting into practice beneficial ideas to society, solidarity between people, care for the environment and stopping pollution) of a good environmental practice, development of concrete collective actions with positive impact on the natural environment, campaigns for awareness and promoting the best practices in an interactive way using the methods of non-formal education, including local authorities within the group discussions and activities for establishing in the end a medium-term strategy to promote good environmental practices in the area, including young people with fewer opportunities from rural areas of the region both in the organizing team and the dissemination target group. This exchange reached its objectives and achieved the following: -Promoted the concept of active "European citizenship", reminding young people values, such as solidarity and dialogue, values that they will show both in activities within the group, but also when they will interact with the members of the local community. The idea, from which we started, was that a good citizen is concerned about the problems facing the community, in this case the green and he actively involved in finding remedies and solutions; -Determined the involvement of young people in general issues that affect society, in this case, their care for the environment; -It is focused on solidarity for the rural community members where the project unfolds, and tolerance for their disadvantages caused by the lack of an appropriate environmental education; -It emphasised on diversity, having 48 participants from five different countries with different cultural background; -Developed mutual understanding between young people from different countries and cultures, they assuming a series of commitments and also, establishing ways to work together as a group; -Promoted active learning introducing various methods of non-formal education; -Included young people with fewer opportunities from rural areas (unemployed, with economic difficulties from isolated areas, with less access to information) as an active part of the project., etc. We have successfully achieved all what we planned in this exchange.
