Dates and Location:
Spring 2021, Motycz Leśny, Poland
Topic of the Youth Exchange:
The goal of
this Erasmus + project is to improve young people's competences in the field of language,
culture, society, entrepreneurship, deepen knowledge on topics related to
ecology and a healthy lifestyle, as well as to support intergenerational
dialogue, develop creativity and promote international cooperation.
The need to
implement these types of projects includes the problems that young people are
currently facing: lack of planning skills leading to buying excess products
that are being wasted; lack of knowledge about the use of natural ingredients
that can replace unhealthy and often more expensive counterparts, bought every
day in stores; low level of self-sufficiency; littering the planet through a
non-ecological lifestyle.
We would
like to help participants gain knowledge about nutrition, food preservation, meal
preparation and selection of ingredients, and enable them to discover the use
of everyday objects, which will lead to finding an effective way to save time,
money, space and resources.
During our
meeting in Poland, we will conduct various types of workshops related to
ecology, zero waste and healthy lifestyle, such as: food preservation, planting
vegetables, various uses of everyday objects, creating a shopping list. Other
non-formal education methods we will use are: integration games, team building,
intercultural communication workshop, reflection groups, theater workshops,
LARP, presentation, discussion, meeting, evaluation.
