ABOUT THE PROJECT • Number of participants: 38

• Participant countries:

Germany, Italy, Poland,

Croatia, Georgia, Bulgaria

and Spain

• Dates: 12 Oct-20 Oct (9 days)

• Location: Coma-Ruga, Tarragona Spain

The youth exchange will be held in the natural scenery of Roda de Bará -

Tarragona .38 participants from 7 different countries will meet to share their

opinions and experiences about the environmental conditions in their

communities.

During 7 days there will be dynamics and workshops related to the topic to

understand what sustainable development really means. We will give voice to

our opinions by building a common’ “Agora” where our debates and decisions

as a group will take place. We will analyze citizen participation and the ways to

put it into practice. Moreover, with the repopulation of a local terrain (the

protected dunes by the beach) we will be protagonists in a real citizen action.

THE AGORA DUNES’REPOPULATION

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

ENERGY DO IT YOURSELF

Bases on open knowledge methodologies and collective creation, we will go

depth into circular economy system, waste management and real design

prototypes (solar shower, solar cooking or biodigesters) that will be susceptible

to use in all countries.

The profile of the participants should be of an active citizen, involved in their

local community and that will become the multiplier that will bring what they

have learned during the experience to their local environment.

In addition each group will have a youth leader who will function as a link

between the participants and organizers, and who will also have the opportunity

to facilitate some sessions during the youth exchange.
