Objectives

Youth involved in the activities of the Pomost Hadziei Foundation, participated in several exchanges Erasmus + on ecology, democracy, and human rights, and it inspired the enthusiasm of the other participants local art classes. We have created a project aimed at integration local communities and creating a platform for the exchange of experiences on a global level. Participants from 5 partner organizations learned new ways to communicate important information related to ECO CiUSZEK Eco Rugs Ecology, recycling, Human Rights and the promotion of peace in the world - so important in turbulent times today. Together, we developed ideas for activities related to the use of cultural and artistic education as a way to reach wider audiences. Based on the non-formal teaching methods and information acquired in previous projects, we have created interesting and educational project activities. The partners prepared individual and group presentations. Sustainable development is a priority all over the world. Unfortunately, it is not in the curricula. Special classes / workshops and promotional campaigns are necessary to bring closer the issues of environmental protection and pro-ecological activities among school students and their families, neighbors and friends. eco education is only a part of activities aimed at social inclusion, building tolerance, volunteering, civil society and broadly understood empathy, all with the use of non-formal methods teaching such as: games and activities, brainstorming, work in international groups, simulations, debates, upcycling, etc. By including people with disabilities, we allow direct contact with people at risk of exclusion for health reasons - learning to see the world through the prism of a disabled person. Working on social inclusion - building volunteering using local talents and supporting people excluded are the goals of this project. We want to learn to work together to build tolerance and empathy, raising competences related to cultural and artistic education, improvisation, manual classes, education ecology, solving problems related to working in international groups and with individuals disabled. Through manual / artistic activities - we look for hidden talents. Through impro and Flash Mob, we break down barriers stage fright, fear of a public performance - we build self-confidence. Through a visit to the Caritas / Leonardo center - classes with disabled people. We will create upcycling art and pass it to auctions to support campaigns helping chronically ill children and their families. Our "Eco-Angels" presented Flash Mob aimed at drawing attention to the problem of clean water and protection environment, recycling and the threat of smog - climate change. By combining culture, art and education environment, we reached a wider audience and initiated changes in the way of thinking and perceiving natural resources, their use and a "passive" lifestyle. According to the formula - "Be the change you want to see in the world". The project also aims to promote human rights in relation to a healthy environment and to promote peace in the world by creating friendships and international partnerships. establish an intergenerational dialogue - from junior to senior - mutual learning and skills. It also contains elements of entrepreneurship as it draws attention to new opportunities among young people, such as eco-businesses, social cooperatives, etc. Awakens creativity. Workshops and classes have been recorded and are promoted as project deliverables. ECO Rugs Parade - presented during a happening / flash mob in Wieliczka, helped in overcoming stage fear - gaining experience in "live" performances and getting in touch with the audience, and better integrating the group. As living in healthy conditions (clean air and water) and Free Speech are part of our Human Rights, the anti-smog parade is part of the project's ideas. The idea of ​​this project fits directly into the goals of Erasmus + - active lifestyle of young people, promoting Human Rights, social integration, preventing exclusion and promoting peace in the world. Through our exchange, we encouraged people to be active spending time in peer groups and thus learning tolerance towards other cultures and lifestyles. Our project teaches "team work" and helps to solve problems related to stress and aggression, which are so important in today's world. An integral part of the project was civic education raising European awareness and working on a shared vision of the future - locally and globally. A very important element of the project is the inclusion of people at risk of exclusion - due to health, financial, social or belief-related problems. We believe that through our friendships - which we have maintained for several years - we apply ourselves
