Far from improving, the environmental situation nowadays is becoming worse day by day reaching a point of “no return” that would be terrible for our Nature and Planet.
We believe that our best way to try changing this is taking action and raising awareness amongst the population, especially youth who will suffer the most the consequences of our current actions.
That is the reason why this project focuses on action-awareness and environmental activism, and aims to
show that the garbage we produce in our daily life can not only be reduced, but can also be reused, thus generating new economy and possible business especially for people with fewer opportunities and /or social problems. We also want to empower youth developing their ideas and transforming them into real projects.
Therefore with this project we will be combining:
1. Environmental issues (MAIN PROJECT):
a. Precious Plastic machines which transform plastic waste into new and valuable objects.
2. Awareness campaigns and workshops
a. Workshops for children with less opportunities and youth from the region.
b. Awareness campaigns started by volunteers about any topic that they might consider
relevant in the region.
c. Erasmus+ and other European programs campaigns, info sessions and workshops.
3. Non-formal management
a. Starting and managing a non-profit organization.
b. Writing and delivering projects based on non-formal education.
Location
The project will be developed in Gandia and the region of “La Safor”, a city of a population over 80,000 people in the Mediterranean east coast of Spain between the cities of Valencia and Alicante.
