• The 1st youth mobility of the project, in which 30 young people from Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Romania and Austria came to Vitsa, Zagorochoria, Ioannina, Greece during July 2021, where they met, brainstormed, and came up with a policy paper for climate action, and more specifically about ways to improve recycling and circular economy.
