La Vecilla, Spain | 3rd to 11th June 2022

Youth Exchange |  Erasmus+

FAJUB was represented in the youth exchange “Sustainable Planet” under the Erasmus + program, held in Leon, Spain.

The project was developed between 3 and 11 June 2022, 37 young people aged between 18 and 30 years gathered in the city of La Vecilla, Leon, to participate in the project Plastic Planet, a youth exchange coordinated by AEG that aimed to provide an opportunity in the field of non-formal education, being an area of skills development, capacity building and innovation for the field of environmental activism.

Coming from Portugal, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey, Lithuania and Spain, volunteers from their associations brought with them their experience in developing environmental projects and initiatives in their communities, as well as working to raise awareness among local populations.

At the same time, thanks to the project, the young participants will be able to adopt a leadership role when they return to their respective communities and associations, promoting environment-related initiatives, among other ways, thanks to the environmental initiatives that have been created during the project’s development.

The project was co-funded by the Erasmus + program and counted with the international collaboration of different non-governmental and non-profit organizations from the countries involved.
