Why
Because we believe that
change happens when we start
to act, and our actions define
in big part who we are. In
today’s world we are not only
responsible for ourselves and for
our close families but we also
have to pay special attention
to our surroundings, our society
and our environment which due
to less care of past generations
cause a big challenge for young
people. Today’s generation was
born in a very quickly changing
environment, where we are
overloaded
by
information
from the media, where we
follow the easiest and cheapest
consumption
habits,
where
creativity is pushed down in the
luxury we created by technology.
We believe that innovative
ideas and best practices are
all around us waiting to be
discovered, and ’sustainability’
is not something to achieve, is
something to practice every
day. Therefore we combine the
topic with ’creative recycling’
which for us is a simple tool
to use in our trainings. In the
creative recycling workshops
we create useful objects our of
waste materials which can be
found in each family: plastic,
paper, textile, etc. During the
workshops a very practical
procedure happens where the
result is something what we
can touch and use, it says a lot
about the creator, because it
is personal. Creating with our
own hands also brings back
childhood memories, gives new
persepectives to self-expression
when experiencing new textures
and colors. Creating together
with others and shape own
ideas to the group is another
part of the program, where
the participants can discover
how they appear and function
in a group, they support eachother’s learning by sharings,
giving feedback, by acceptance.
