E.N.T.E.R.P.R.I.S.E. - ENvironmental TEamwork - Reusing Plastic Resources In efficient, Sustainable Enhancements

Our behaviour in regards of trash and recycling during the past years had a huge impact on our planet Earth and its environment. We as humans have to work together in order to prevent the overwhelming impact waste has not only on us, but also on animals and nature as such. We are the ones who brought us here, we have to be the ones to stop it.
With this project, we would like to set off a change in the way Europeans youth thinks, moreover how they act towards nature. Our goal is, to raise awareness about the devastating influence which by humans caused waste has on the environment, and connected pollution issues.
Out of the six countries we chose to partner with for this project, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, and Spain, four countries will be failing the 2020 goal of trash reduction which was set by the European Commission. We aim to start a discussion between the participants and their various cultural backgrounds, in order to find a reason and possible solution for those issues.
With our various activities being:
• researching and analysing the possible reasons for our current situation regionwide (Istria), countrywide (Croatia, furthermore the country of the participants origins) and on a general European level.
• collecting trash in the local area in order to reduce its impact on the environment
• to recycle properly and to reuse the collected waste in different and creative ways
• to make the local population aware of the important urgency of living a resourceful life
We aspire to encourage:
• intercultural dialogue
• teambuilding skills
• communication skills
• creativity
• out-of-the-box way of thinking
• analysing issues and problem solving
• self-awareness off personal impact on the environment
• resourceful living
With this project, we stride for a brighter future. In raising the awareness of Europeans youth, we can change for the greater good. It might seem like a small step at first, but the more individuals start to realise their impact on our world, the bigger the difference will be. We have to start now, otherwise it will be too late.
