Testimonial of the reference person

The project was implemented with a diverse group from Mediterranean countries, working on environmental, sustainability and climate crisis topics. The training was facilitated using non-formal education activities, to provide participants with all necessary information regarding the topic and to raise awareness of the issues discussed. An example of one activity was the creation of sustainable clothes, using eco-friendy and reusable materials.
