An Erasmus+ youth exchange "EcoLaboration" took place on 9-17 October 2017 in Spain
Youth Exchange «Ecolaboration» took lace in Manjiron, Spain. We want to thank all the participants and organzations that made the project possible. This was a seven days work aimed at trying to make the world a better place to live ecologically in a creative way through different proposals and campaigns.
The project brought together for eight days 25 female an male participants from Spain, Georgia, Ukraine and Greece. During the exchange the participants had the chance to learn, discuss, explore and share information about environmental issues and to take better initiatives that address their communities’ environmental needs.
We made eco-activities such as eco-slogans, flyers, posters, campaigns, activities encouraging ecological situations, ecological debates, etc.
The group visited the recycling plant «Parque Tecnológico de Valdemingómez» where the people who worked there themselves and the vice-director of the recycling plant gave us information about the plant and the work done there . After that the group had free time in Madrid, where the coordinators made a tour around the city.
The main activity of the project was making an eco-campaign in Manjiron, the place where the exchange was made. The participants built a campaign by making videos, flyers and posters using the slogan: «Nature doesn’t pollute you… so why do you pollute nature?», «You choose what to follow.» We had the opportunities to meet with the environmental councilor of Manjiron, he told us about the situation in the town, the group made questions about future policy's in the village and we gave him all the material created by the participants while he assisted us with the start of the campaign in Manjiron.
We had time to relax and have fun after the exhausting activities with the free time and the intercultural evenings. We want to thank all the participants, their enthusiasm, their happiness and creativity for making this possible.
