A LIFEtime improvement

<< Background >>We applied for the ALIVE project in order to contribute to the needs of our community's geographic changes, overpopulation in cities, and natural disasters within local communities (Noord-Brabant-NL, Kocaeli-TR, Ilfov-RO). Our shared vision was to transform peripheral areas into green spaces through local action, specifically targeting young people in our organizations. We set an objective to raise awareness and enhance the capabilities of young people (18-30 years old) from NL (Noord-Brabant), TR (Kocaeli), and RO (Ilfov) regarding biodiversity and eco-green issues through the study of the ALIVE digital booklet and study visits to each local community. We exchanged experiences and best practices among the three partner organizations by involving 36 experts during the study visits. We promoted sustainable development, particularly focusing on biodiversity and eco-green activities in local communities through public relations efforts. We have observed, tested and reported several green practices through study visit events and reported them all to increase visibility and inspire for our local communities into one booklet in our national languages and in English:http://www.bdt-egitim.eu/media/news/erasmus-alive-bucharest-visit-<< Objectives >>We have implemented kick-off meetings and online TPM events in order to effectively manage the project's activities and ensure smooth coordination between the partners. This involved monitoring progress, overseeing implementation, and maintaining quality throughout the project duration. We have implemented three study visit events in Netherlands, Romania and Turkey, we achieved to engage a total of 36 participants, including 18 individuals with reduced opportunities for valuable learning experiences and firsthand exposure to eco-green initiatives and biodiversity-related activities. We have created a booklet where we have promoted our practices. The booklet aimed to increase knowledge and skills related to eco-green practices and biodiversity, serving as a valuable resource for the target audience. Multiplier events and dissemination activities played a crucial role in fostering cross-sectoral collaboration and promoting the project's results. They brought together experts and stakeholders from various fields to facilitate knowledge exchange, partnership development, and dissemination of the project outcomes.<< Implementation >>During the project's lifetime, we have implemented kick-off meetings and online administrative meetings. These meetings helped us to check quality standards, make sure the responsibilities are done in cooperation and establish financial reporting, payment plans, budgetary divisions, and planning. Three study visits were organized in the Netherlands, Romania, and Turkey, hosting a total of 36 participants. During these visits, participants tested and implemented green activities observed various fields, and enhanced their skills and knowledge with the guidance of experts. 45-page booklet was created, incorporating the good practices tested during the study visits. Researchers and technicians reported and compiled the identified good practices. Brokerage & Multiplier Events in partner countries created new partnerships and submit new initiatives. Each partner contributed to the events by designing activities, creating event maps, and preparing presentation materials such as brochures.<< Results >>The 36 participants who attended the study visits in Noord-Brabant (NL), Ilfov (RO), and Kocaeli (TR) acquired practical skills and knowledge related to biodiversity and eco-green practices. We developed a user-friendly digital booklet, accessed by a minimum of 600 people, providing guidance on activities supporting biodiversity and eco-green practices. e organized three Brokerage Events, bringing together stakeholders for networking and initiating cross-sectoral projects, with a total of 51 participants. Three Multiplier Events were held to promote the ALIVE Booklet, involving 80 participants and raising awareness about green encouragement activities.English ALIVE Booklet: http://bit.ly/40KcSNKDutch ALIVE Booklet: http://bit.ly/3lW0k75Turkish ALIVE Booklet: http://bit.ly/3K09WpeRomanian ALIVE Booklet: http://bit.ly/3zoICfG
