Objectives

We wanted to create an image and make the people aware by environmental issues due to climate change in recent years. We wanted to make a small impact for the environment through culture and media as tools. The partners wanted to carry out the project in Sweden because everyone knows Sweden's efforts to protect the environment, the air and the health of the population. The objects we hade were our wishes to bring further an active participation with environmental issues. We wanted to achieve an active participation in protection the environment, to engage the young people in this process and to stimulate them to work continuously and active on these issues We wanted to create, promote and develop values and attitudes in our group and then to carry them further in our countries and communities . We wanted to share all the ideas we develop in the project . Our motto was that everyone is a part in the solution of environmental problems and the changes start now. We wanted to achieve engagement, attitudes and courage to start the changes for a better , cleaner environment, We wanted to rise awareness all around Europe, in our partners countries and all over the world about the fight against the pollution. We wanted create a link between people and countries in to fight pollution and to keep a clean environment. At the same time we aimed to identify the polluting factors, to discuss through workshops how and what could lead to the elimination of these factors. As main point we had the use of cultural factors and traditions, mental attitudes specific to each country in identifying and discussing pollution factors. We wanted to inspire the other and spread our style of work, our positive attitudes in keeping a clean environment. We wanted to inspire the the Environment We Living In (EWLI) is our house , our children house and is the only house we have . We want to improve a more critical way thinking . to let them understand the importance of looking for reliable sources of information . We had in focus the climate issues and used them as a tool to look at our attitudes in Europe , to rise awareness in our society. We also used this mobility to make youth know the local society. This was an opportunity for people to see the multicultural beauty, for the young people to know more about these mobility opportunities that help them to get in touch with intercultural spirit in another way and mature with it. The aim was to show what each of us can do for our environment in a fun way, via informal learning. We would what each of us can do; how to pick up litters on one ́s way to school or work, the way to re-cycle and how one can do little things in one ́s neighborhood for our environment. To spread these ideas and tips through digital media . We wanted to exchange knowledge with each other and support each other, from cultural point of view and way of acting towards environment. We accept that we have to begin tiny little that we can grow, so that is why we are focusing our work to neighborhood, in all partner groups. . Recycle and collect trashes from our neighborhood and inspire others do the same. That's the least we could do. We thought about every activity we implemented with a specific objective, thinking about different ways to present the topic but also leaving room for the participants to discuss between them and to learn by doing every day. The project was implemented thinking about a bigger result also after its end: we hope the participants carry out what they have learnt during the activity and use their knowledge as a tool to create a more respectful and open society. Erasmus + gives us the opportunity to connect each other, to know each, to share experiences, ideas and create attitudes and values and engage us in environmental questions and build common goals. As attitudes and values we wanted to develop respect for diversity, ecological awareness, personal and global responsibility, social justice and equal opportunities; based economy based -community and economic justice; participatory democracy, gender equality. Objectives/Goals we hade : protection the environment, promoting and developing ecological solutions to environmental problems at our level, initiating and supporting activities with the role of encouraging and inspiring young people to active civic participation, promoting education, with a special emphasis on environmental and democratic education, through our workshops and activities, defending animal rights, protection of the national and universal cultural, landscape, architectural, historical and artistic heritage.
