MAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVE WAS TO CREATE AN OPEN AND SAFE SPACE FOR JOINT PARTICIPATORY LEARNING PROCESS AND COMMUNITY BUILDING THAT WILL LEAD TO KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONAL AND ACTIVIST FIELD,. BEYOND THAT, PROJECT WANTED TO INTRODUCE THE NEW CONCEPTS, INSIGHTS AND PRACTICES THAT CAN SERVE TO AND IMPROVE LEVEL OF AWARENNES OF LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS, BRING INSPIRATION AND PROVIDE NEW LENS FOR PERCEIVING THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH AS LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITY. REGARDING THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND ECOLOGICAL CRISIS ANOTHER PROJECT OBJECTIVE WAS TO COLLECT AND SYSTEMATIZE VARIOUS FORMS KNOWLEDGE AND THE DIVERSITY OF TOPICS AND APPROACH FOR ADRESSING AND COMMUNICATING THE CLIMATE CHANGE PROCESS AS A TRULY INTERDISCIPLINARY PROCESS. FROM THE PROCESS OF WORK WITH EXPERTS FROM DIFFERENT FIELDS DURING THE COURSE OF PROJECT, WE WANTED TO CREATE A GUIDE THAT WILL CAPTURE AND ADDRESS THE MYRIAD OF ELEMENTS NEEDED TO EXPAND THE AWARENNES OF A BIGGER PICTURE RELATED TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE PROCESS AND ECOLOGICAL CRISIS
PROJECT „EURECA“ HAS BEEN IMAGINED AROUND THE IDEA OF HOW WE CAN IMPROVE COMMUNICATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE PROCESS AND ECOLOGICAL CRISIS LINKED TO IT BY GOING BEYOND SCIENTIFIC FACTS AND MAINSTREAM TECHNO-ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS. AS ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, WE WANTED TO INVESTIGATE AND SEARCH FOR DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION MODELS AND NARRATIVES THAN THOSE WHICH ARE DOMINANT IN PUBLIC SPHERE WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE. MAIN PROJECT GOAL WAS TO CREATE AND NURTURE MODELS THAT ARE FOCUSED ON INSPIRING AND MAKING CONNECTIONS AMONG THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY BY FOCUSING ON THE CONCEPTS AND NARRATIVES THAT WORK TOWARDS THE REVITALISATION OF THE HUMAN-NATURE RELATIONSHIP, MAIN REASON WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN THIS APPROACH LIES IN THE FACT THAT ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS, PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN SERBIA AND CROATIA NEEDED A DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION SPACE AND NEW NARRATIVES THAT CAN BRING A SENSE OF CONNECTION AND HOPE IN MIDST OF THE OVERWHELMING DISASTROUS ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES . CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALSO AN EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS AND THESE NEEDS HAVE TO BE ADRESSED AND SPOKEN ABOUT AS A PART OF HEALING PROCESS, BOTH FOR HUMANS AND FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
