Another presentation at Polish school. On 12th of September, Weronika Wilk, a participant of our summer international meeting in frames of the Become ECOnfident project, presented its results to her classmates.

15 students took part in the presentation.
Thank you Weronika for your cool activity, good job!

 Polish participants of our international ecoclubs meeting conducted a local presentation of the meeting's results for other Polish club members and for students of the J. Słowacki Primary School in Małochwiej Duży.

The presentation took place on 6th of September. Kasia Ciepałowicz, a participant of the international meeting in Motycz Leśny, presented its outcomes to classes 5 and 6. In total, 30 students participated in the presentations. Ela Ciepałowicz conducted presentations in classes 7 and 8, with 20 students in attendance.

We are pleased that thanks to the Polish club members, such a large group of young people learned about the activities within the Become ECOnfident project. Ela and Kasia, thank you for your activity, good job! We would like to thank for the coordination of the presentation to club supervisor - Renata Lewandowska and Rafał Lamorski from J. Słowacki Primary School in Małochwiej Duży.

   On 15th of August, a meeting took place on the ZOOM platform, attended by representatives of the HEureka Generator association (Andrzej Smyk), the Evolution association (Razvan Rotariu), and the Tavo Europa association (Donatas Verseckas).

During the summer break when our clubs do not meet locally, we were able to discuss the ongoing collaboration in the Become ECOnfident project and summarize the recently concluded international meeting of Eco-Clubs, which took place in Poland.

An important part of our ZOOM meeting was also setting the autumn deadlines related to the activities of the clubs and planning an evaluation meeting in Poland. We scheduled it for mid-November 2023.

This was a significant meeting for us, during which the exchange of experiences ensured the continuation of our collaboration at the appropriate level in the final phase of the Become ECOnfident.

 ...And the international meeting of young people, youth workers and teachers as part of the Become ECOnfident project is behind us.

Kasia, Ela, Ola, Monika, Weronika, Brigite, Lukas, Gabrielė, Kotryna, Yevhen, Maya, Adelina, Ana-Maria, Teo, Izabela - thank you for your active participation in our meeting. Indre, Ana-Bela, thank you for leading the group together.

Now we return to local activities in our project. We will advertise the results of our meeting in Poland and continue to develop the activities of our extracurricular environmental clubs.

We would like to thank Mrs. Renata Lewandowska And Mr. Leszek Kluch for the cooperation and preparation of the Polish group, and Association Evolution and Tavo Europa for their work in this next part of our project.

 

Another EcoTrip behind us. This time we went to the ‘Land of Camomile’ in Hołowno and the Municipal Public Library in Podedwórze.

Participants of the international meeting of young people, teachers and youth workers took part in:
- natural soap making workshop
- eco-print workshops
- ecological orienteering game
- ecological quiz

We would like to thank Mrs. Diana Hetman and Mrs. Agnieszka Juchno from our partner Municipal Public Library in Podedwórze for their cooperation in organizing today's adventures.

 Today during the eco-workshop we talked about:
-how much man-made waste decomposes after it is thrown away
-What we can do with used items during handmade workshops
After the talks, we used empty plastic bottles to create our 'Eco works of art'.

,

 On 14th of July, participants of the Become ECOnfident project visited the Regional Waste Management Plant in Dębowiec near Zamość.

During the meeting, young people from Polish, Romanian and Lithuanian Eco-clubs could see with their own eyes what the recycling process looks like from the moment containers with waste arrive at the plant.
We saw how employees, machines and computers deal with segregation and recovery of parts from waste that can be reused.
Thanks to the courtesy of the employees, we also visited the management center, where we could see all the work on the monitors and from where you can communicate with all parts of the plant.

At the end, we could ask questions and learn more about the topics that interested us the most.
At the end our group received gifts from our hosts.

We would like to thank Mr. Paweł Bratkowski for a warm welcome and showing us around the plant.
It was a valuable ecological lesson for us, which we will use during the next days of the international meeting as part of our Become ECOnfident project.
