Project description
The project, “Living the green”, is a follow up to another voluntary project, “Go for green”, implemented between 01.10.2016-01.10.2017. At the end of this project, together with all the 6 EVS volunteers, we realized an impact study with the result that the project was appropriate for all 6 volunteers and for the local communities situated nearby Valcea’s County (where the activities of the project were implemented).

We also want to determinate them to be actively involved in order to protect the environment and to have a healthy lifestyle.
