Preparatory Meeting in Bhubaneswar, India

Estonian team: Heleri, Katrin, Greete and Kadri
Preparatory meeting in Bhubaneswar, India
From 14th to 19th February preparatory meeting in Bhubaneswar, India was held. 16 youth leaders, youth workers and members of environmental NGOs from Estonia, Portugal, India and China participated. The idea was to debate on climate change and together find solutions how young people could contribute to sustainable development. Four campaigns in participating countries were developed and will put into practice with the help of young volunteers. The aim is to find solutions to decrease the effects of climate change and raise the awareness about the problems locally, regionally and globally. Even through some countries are affected less and some more, the climate change is something which can and will affect all future generations. Every single person has a chance to give a small effort to change the situation for better - it can be something small like using cloth bags or something big - like starting volunteering project in environmental NGO abroad - but everyone can do something. Together we can make the world a better place to live in!
