Main theme for the project

The project “Responsible youth are recycling”, which will take place in May 2016 at Milcoveni – Romania will put together 50 youngsters from Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Italy, 10 from each country. The participants for this project are youngsters from countryside, people with disabilities, or young minorities , that have a very low knowledge regarding civic spirit, recycling and environmental protection.

“Responsible youth are recycling” will be a youth mobility that promotes the idea of creative recycling.

This mobility insures active participation of young people, because the proposed methodology is based on the principles of non-formal education. The participants will have the opportunity of developing some KEY COMPETENCES due to the fact that they will have situations in which they will need to find solutions in a creative way while communicating among each other in english , despite the cultural difference,  trying to achieve the goal of the project.

The result of this project will be a play ground in the village of Milcoveni, build entirely out of recycled materials found inside Milcoveni, place where we will also set up an exhibition of decorations made out of recycled materials. The project activities will be carried out based on the non formal education principles promoting the participation of the local community and youngsters using as a main working method CREATIVE RECYCLING.
