Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Foundation for the Development of Local Initiatives Qdowa would like to invite you to Poland for take part in seminar on environmental protection, ecological and global education for youth workers.
\nFive days seminar will take a place on 22th – 26th January 2019 (21.01 and 27.01 are travel days) in small village in Sto\u0142owe Mountains \u2013 Pasterka, in mountain shelter \u201cSzczelinka\u201d.
\nThe aim of our meetings is to exchange experiences in the field of ecological education for young people and to reflect on the problem of how to teach young people to feel more responsible for the environment.
\nNowadays, we generate a huge amount of waste every day, we buy a lot of things, we consume without restrictions, we waste huge amounts of water, electricity and other resources without thinking about the consequences.
\nThe key to stop this process is to educate people, especially younger generations, paying attention to how simple, everyday activities can affect the improvement of the environment. Saving resources, or the main subject of our project, also contributes to a more economical approach when it comes to the home budget: ecology = economy.
\nWe want to invite participants from different countries, from different backgrounds, to work together on these topics in youth education:
\n\uf0b7 waste management and recycling
\n\uf0b7 saving electricity, water and other resources
\n\uf0b7 air pollution
\n\uf0b7 environment pollution
\n\uf0b7 renewable energy sources
\nThe overall goal of our project is to make the largest possible number of people aware of the global impact our unreflective approach to everyday activities and the use of resources, which contributes to the change of the environment and the quality of our lives and future lives generations. We believe that the „Resources Saving Guide“ created during the project will change children’s and young people’s attitude and they will start to take care for the environment having in mind the processes taking place in it.
\nThe aim of our meetings is to exchange experience in ecological education of youth, reflect on the problem how to teach young people to feel more responsible for environment and how to don\u2019t waste that much water, electricity and other resources.
\nDuring the seminar we will work under the supervision of experienced trainers who will provide us with a lot of knowledge in several thematic blocks every day.<\/p>\n

Venue:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Accomodation and our activities will take place in Szczelinka – a mountain shelter in Pasterka. \u201cSzczelinka has always been a shelter. That is, at the beginning, in the first years of the 20th century, it was simply a country cottage, but it was extended to a regional youth hostel with 130 beds. What was happening there… In any case, after the Second World War, it remained a hostel and almost survived unchanged until today. So today, standing in the queue to the morning toilet, we can feel like the inhabitants of the old village. Because in an exclusive hotel everyone can sleep and be part of history – only a few. 😊 We have restaurant in the neo-bistro style. The menu includes dishes combining modernity and tradition. We use seasonal products and our card is changed several times a year. We are recognized by pasta, bread and burgers made on the spot.\u201d
\n(short info from their website: http:\/\/www.przystanekpasterka.pl\/obiekty\/dw-szczelinka\/<\/a> )
\n\uf0b7 Rooms and bathrooms
\nThere are 4-5 bed bedrooms with a separate bathrooms (in the corridors). Participants from different nationalities will be divided in rooms. We will try to divide women and men, but it might happen that it is not possible for every room. In case you feel uncomfortable with sharing room with the other gender, please inform us!
\n\uf0b7 Food
\nBecause our goal is also to promote a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition, all meals will be vegetarian. Let us know if you are vegan or have other needs or allergies. If you are not a vegetarian, you will be very surprised what meals you can prepare without meat, the chef in Szczelinka is a master in such meals.
\n\uf0b7 Internet connection.
\nIt\u2019s not super speed, but it will work in case you need to contact your family or check on emails and social networks. However, if you want to upload pictures, but might be challenging!
\n\uf0b7 Very important information!
\nIn Pasterka there isn\u2019t signal (network), only in few places, so be prepared… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Working\u00a0methods:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All the training will be done through the methods of non-formal education. The activities will be for example brain storming\u2019s, plenary discussions, simulations, role plays, team building, energizers, ice breakers and many others. Non formal education we remember you that is voluntary, no hierarchical and all its methods are based on the concept of learning by doing.<\/p>\n

What to bring with me:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\uf0b7 warm clothes, gloves, hats and good shoes \u2013 we hope there will be a lot of snow!
\n\uf0b7 traditional foods and drinks for the intercultural nights where each team will introduce their
\nculture, hometown, country etc.
\n\uf0b7 towels and flip-flops
\n\uf0b7 European Health Insurance Card
\n\uf0b7 each group at least one laptop (notebook) to make the working easier
\n\uf0b7 music instruments if you play, or some music that you would like to listen
\n\uf0b7 positive energy 😊<\/p>\n

Intercultural night:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What we expect from you to present in these nights are: local or national dances, local music, games, little sweets, drinks, pictures, etc. from your countries.
\nEvery country will prepare a short presentation of their culture, using all kinds of methods. It’s preferred a short and FUNNY presentation, such as showing pictures and commenting it, quiz, short video (either already existing or made by you), etc. (YES – use your creativity!). For the intercultural night, we ask you to prepare in advance a brief performance (singing, your traditional music, popular dances) to present your group (typical costumes are really welcomed!).
\nThe main idea of this presentation is: What is important for a stranger to know about my country?
\nAny kind of presentation is granted, better not to do a power-point presentation to avoid yawning.
\nThe Intercultural night is the \u201cmost wanted event\u201d on the beginning of the youth exchange. It is a sort of traditional night opened to all participant audience made up of our group leaders, youth workers, facilitators, participants to the exchange. All National groups are asked to perform briefly (10 for your NGO and country\/city not more, and 10 min for traditional dances and music) in order to introduce their self. Certainly, we need your enthusiasm and energy!!
\nFor the Intercultural evening a Swedish buffet (cold buffet) will be organized. Here every country will bring traditional food dishes. The food that will be brought must be eatable without any processing (boiling, frying, etc). The dishes must also be accompanied by a brief description (their origin and ingredients, the way they are eaten\u2026)<\/p>\n
