ESC: EcoSpark

The aim of the association is to increase the interest in ecology among young generation, develop active citizenship and sustainable living solutions. Even though the association is still in the growing process, our team has a vast experience in the field, after implementing and facilitating projects aimed to support community development, working with young people from disadvantaged communities and design activities using non-formal education methods. In December 2020, we were selected for a 2 year membership in the National Council for Youth, advisory body for the Youth and Sports Ministry (actual Ministry of Family, Youth and Equal Opportunities). Through this membership we have planned to increase the representation of the local young people into the decision making structures and bodies. As members, Eco Alternative Association contributed to the writing of the Nation Youth Strategy 2021-2027. Since August 2020, we have started an `Information Campaign about Environment Protection`, both locally, in Turda - Cluj county (with the help of the local volunteers) and online on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Also we created a group of local youth with whom we organize constant meetings and already established a strategy for promoting environmental protection in Turda and, since last year, in our additional location, Mosnita Veche (Timis County).
