Descrizione
The "Green Horizon Advocates" initiative is a community-driven project aimed at fostering environmental awareness, sustainable practices, and community engagement. In the local context of addressing environmental challenges, this activity is rooted in solidarity and aligns with the principles of the European Solidarity Corps. Its European added value lies in the exchange of knowledge, cross-cultural collaboration, and a shared commitment to environmental sustainability. Volunteers involved in this initiative will actively engage with the local community, advocating for sustainable practices and conducting educational workshops on topics like waste reduction, energy conservation, and biodiversity. The community-led initiatives will include tree planting, clean-up campaigns, and workshops to empower community members with knowledge and skills.
