The activity “Where Green Leads” took place in Veľké Kapušany from 1–6 July 2025, with travel days on 30 June and 7 July. A total of 43 participants took part in the exchange: • Hungary: 8 participants • Italy: 8 participants • Latvia: 8 participants • Ukraine: 8 participants • Slovakia: 11 participants
Participants were between 13 and 23 years old, with the majority aged 15–18, representing mainly secondary school students.
The main objective of the project was to raise awareness among young people about environmental consciousness and sustainability. Many people are not aware of how their everyday activities impact the environment, yet small actions collectively make a significant difference. The exchange encouraged participants to adopt an environmentally responsible mindset and to take active steps toward protecting their surroundings.
The programme included a wide variety of activities: outdoor movement sessions, hiking, healthy eating workshops, and engaging group challenges. Throughout the exchange, participants worked in international mixed groups on environmental topics. They discussed the environmental challenges faced in their local communities and collaboratively searched for creative solutions. In the creative workshops, the groups designed and built “green solutions” using recycled materials, connecting the outcomes to what they had learned in previous sessions. By the end of the project, participants produced short videos addressing different “green” themes, demonstrating simple, everyday eco-friendly practices.
Evenings were enriched by intercultural nights, during which each national group presented their culture, traditions, and cuisine.
