Carbon Conversations in Lithuania - Group 12
Lithuania, Paberžė, Vilnius districtThe training has been held in the Vilnius district Paberžė “Verdenė” Gymnasium. The group consisted of 13 participants from the Gymnasium. The course was divided into 6 parts, according to the following topics - responsibility for climate change, planning for change, food and water, consumption and waste, travel and transport, ecological house. The main focus of the training was to introduce the most significant environmental issues regarding the topics to the participants. It is notable that participants were very active and shared their own ideas as well as their personal experiences. The discussion was completely different from the previous ones because participants are living in the countryside of Vilnius. They are surrounded by nature and fresh air, for this reason, they do not notice some ecological problems which are evident for those who are living in the bigger cities. In addition, energizers and teamwork games were used during the breaks. The group suggested various original solutions to different ecological issues and also some of the participants decided to take new actions to reduce their personal carbon emissions, especially regarding consumerism and food.
