ECO Wave: Description

ECO Wave

The project “ECO Wave” will be realized in Galati, Romania from the 22’^nd to the 30’^th of October 2012, being a training course that will bring together 33 participants and 3 experts from the following countries: Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Romania.

Developed with the motto that “Modern Technology Owes Ecology An Apology ”, ECO Wave is financed by the European Commission in the frame of Youth in Action Programme, action 4.3 Training and Networking Activities.

General aim of the project to draw attention to climate change, to develop new methods of raising awareness. We are going to create a platform in youth groups for saving our world.

We will discover values and ways of action, analyzing the differences between the theoretical ecology and the practical ecology, searching for a way to fine them down for a more practical and effective way.

During training course we will implement activities and exercises that strengthen some of these basic competences: team-building, facilitation, communication and creative thinking skills.

Several methods of non-formal learning will be combined to explore the topics: intercultural learning exercises, simulation exercises, discussions, creative thinking techniques, brainstormming, self-assessment inventories, reflection groups and presentations.

European cooperation will be highlighted through networking, according to Youth in Action priorities.

In our opinion, “ECO Wave” will enrich creativity and environmental responsability. By active participation we expect awareness of the social and cultural reality and the opportunity to think and develop new creative initiatives with positive ecological impacts.
