ECOmotion was more than just a project. It is a story of unity, action, and inspiration!
Until recently, it was just an idea - to create a space where the youth of the Mykolaiv community could unite, learn through action, take care of the environment and themselves, get to know each other and feel the power of community.
It was a path of small but confident steps:
- from the first acquaintances at the opening to real teamwork;
- from thinking about the environment to creating eco-initiatives with our own hands;
- from shy first actions to inspired and confident voices of young people.
We have accomplished a lot during the implementation:
- We conducted a series of trainings for young people aged 14-24.
- We organized an eco-action "Restore Your City".
- We organized creative workshops on eco-art and acting.
- We held a warm online meeting called Coffee with Successful Youth.
- We ended with an atmospheric finale: creativity, results, emotions.
We are sincerely grateful:
- To the participants for their activity, sincerity, and initiative.
- The Youth Council and the Youth Center for their support, coordination and inspiration.
- To the Malynivska Rodyna public organization for believing in the idea.
- Trainers and facilitators - for their responsiveness and professionalism.
- Rapid Response Unit of Donetsk region - for their care, support and safety.
ECOmotion ends its journey in this form, but leaves behind united youth, new ideas and a desire to act.
Mykolaiv youth will continue to create, teach, and change the community for the better - together. This was ECOmotion. And this is just the beginning.
