We are excited to share the success of our first international meeting for the “Green Opportunity” project, held on June 3-4, 2024, in Patras, Greece!

The small-scale partnership project KA2 2023-3-BG01-KA210-YOU-000180593 “Green Opportunity,” funded by the Erasmus+ program, is dedicated to educating young people about the environmental benefits of the circular economy. We aim to inspire and promote a new way of thinking about production and consumption that integrates natural ecosystems into our daily lives, businesses, and waste-reduction efforts.

Our inaugural meeting brought together passionate individuals from Bulgaria (Branch Association Polymers and Get Involved), Croatia (More Coaching), and Greece (Liofyllo), united by the shared goal of creating a sustainable future. The project focuses on developing engaging and educational animated videos and tools about the circular economy, distributing them through social media and video platforms, and launching social media challenges with unique hashtags to encourage active participation and responsibility among young people.

The discussions and activities during these two days laid a solid foundation for our mission to combat the negative environmental impacts of the current “take-use-dispose” economy. We are thrilled to empower young people with practical tools and techniques to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle and contribute to the circular economy.

This project will foster a sense of initiative and active citizenship among young people while encouraging creative learning, intercultural dialogue, and the joy of diversity. With participants from three different countries and cultures, we are united in our mission to create a greener and more sustainable world.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful partners and hosts from Liofyllo, who showed us incredible hospitality in the enchanting city of Patras, rich in both ancient and modern charm!

Stay tuned for more updates and join us on this exciting journey toward a more sustainable future!
