📌 About the project:

Sun&More is a youth exchange within the frame of Erasmus + related to environment awareness using the SUN as great source or energy. As the SDO (Sustainable Development Objectives) propose, climate change need to be a priority to promote planet care. In this curse we will work with youth workers on habits that create healthy life of style as well as look after nature. During 10 days, 27 youngsters will work together on among others bio-construction of sun drier, seize the extra productions of fruit, cooking with the sun, or creating awareness about non toxic products for women menstruations. Though this project we will learn not only about the theory of renewable energy but also live a real experience putting it into practice. The project is created to achieve that youth become an active part of the community and build alternative ways and habits of life more responsible and respectful with our environment. To achieve the objectives, we start from the vision of implementing and developing skills and abilities, by helping to establish new relationships at different levels and their empowerment. With all of this it is indented to welcome and give values to different visions of the world, to be able to share experiences in an experiential way. So we give voice to different people and respect the difference.

The ability to adapt to non-comfortable and shared spaces with more people should also be taken into consideration.
