“Wind of change” project gave chance to participants to address the issue of sustainable development, environment protection and social responsibility in a multicultural dialogue in order to find common values that can overcome cultural differences.

“Wind of change” offered to the 40 participants coming from 8 different countries the environment to discover and develop their artistic and practical abilities to work with recycled materials, to develop their ecological consciousness to take care and protect the cultural environment inherited and pass it to future generations.

Facilitating joint activities for the participants coming from different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds, DIY workshops , origami workshops using recycled materials , informal meetings during the visits in the community were aimed at developing intercultural learning among young people, mutual understanding, promoting tolerance and equality, as well as inclusion of socially excluded groups.

Using activities based on non-formal methods, the participants reflected and became more aware of the responsabilities they have as European citizens.
