Selected participants
Education and shaping attitudes of young people to ecology are very important, because it concern their future life. We would like focus on eco initiation, i.e. shaping habits, ecological reflection in the young age, when the mind of a young people is extremely receptive and flexible. Typically, environmental education provided by schools consists on providing theoretical information. Trough workshops and manual activities we will make the participants “like ecology”, understand its usefulness and see that it can be a pleasure.
AIMS OF THE PROJECT
-spreading eco-patriotism among young people and promote a positive vision of ecology.
-promoting pro-ecological behaviors among young people, which will have a positive impact on the environment and reduce the negative effects of people’s activities
-preset and teach young people which of everyday activities can positively influence the climate
-development of the soft skills of young people useful for ecology like creativity, re-use of older things, communication skills and team work
Second Chance workshops were success
Three workshop has been organised and it was so much fun!

They were competing who will clean the meeting room after, with their new products. These students learnt what contains all cleaning products and what harm the can cause.
Workshop on how to create ecological cosmetics 🧼
It is easy, fun and great smelling. 🤩 In the middle of March a workshop held in Bratislava brought together 10 girls.

Development of the ecological awareness and knowledge among young people
Development of the other skills among young people like creativity and innovation– re-using things in new way, creation of new things using imagination;
We will expand the group of ecology enthusiasts who care about the environment, e.g. by not wasting food, using used clothes, giving them a second life.
We will strengthen their soft skills, such as: communication, teamwork, creativity, openness and hard skills, e.g. the ability to use and create objects. We encourage youth to implement Eco Life Style.
We will contribute to the development of society and its awareness of making decisions that will affect the future.
