About the project
PlasticArt is an Erasmus+ European youth project addressing Energy and resources, Environment and climate change and Creativity and culture. It was developed to the added value of our project (PlasticArts) compared to the previous one (DIY, Plastic Goodbye), to which it is connected, is educating young people on the use of disposable plastic by informing them about the damage connected. The project uses non-formal education and international cooperation to turn these themes into practical learning, organisational development and community-level action.
Objectives
* The main objective of our project is to reduce the use of plastic bags and bottles, continuing our work started with our previous “DIY, Plastic Goodbye” project, given the success of this project and the positive impact that we managed to produce.
* We young people from the informal “Explore the World” group care about environmental issues, but at the same time we are committed to creating awareness of global objectives: humanitarianism, volunteering, tolerance.
* One of the objectives is of this project is to carry on our collaborations with our local and international partners.
Activities
* International non-formal learning activities involving participants and partner organisations.
* Practical workshops, collaborative work and reflection connected to the project themes.
* Follow-up and dissemination activities within the participating communities.
Impact
In our project, our participants will demolish their stereotypes, their prejudices and their racist behaviors. At the same time, they will acquire skills to find solutions for the environment and will be competent to conduct activities that can be created in this context and to design applications that can be created in this theme. In addition, our participants will develop a common denominator in order to solve an international problem and work in this field and can work in intercultural teams. They will also be aware of the recycling systems in their countries and will be more sensitive and informed on these topics.
