The “Young people and the Environment” project was initiated by the Moldavia Cultural Association, and Artipic was a partner. Through this project we aimed to develop skills in the field of education about democracy, critical thinking, as well as in the field of European construction among 100 young people and to raise awareness among at least 3000 young people about environmental conscience and European construction.

Main activities:

  • 2 seminars on European Construction and the EU's vision for the environment. As a result of the seminars, the young people learned the principles of the debate and were divided into teams, which prepared pros and cons on the topics covered during the seminar;
  • 10 debates on environmental issues and European construction, lasting about 2 hours each. The idea of ​​the debates was to develop the critical thinking of the participants, to analyze, to ask questions and look for arguments both for and against, in order to develop other perspectives on the truth considered absolute;
  • Realization and promotion of works made by artists HarceaPacea, Frag.menta, Grafo and Chiribaw. They were inspired by the topics addressed in the activities (seminars and debates);
  • Mural paintings - As the weather conditions were not favorable for an outdoor work, and the management of the Tudor Vladimirescu campus was not open to the most voted piece by the public, 3 indoor murals were made: 1. Ecological education in school curriculum, artist HarceaPacea - Faculty of Electrical, Energy and Applied Informatics Engineering; 2. Tamagotchi, artist Grafo - Student’s Culture House and 3. ECOEGO, artist Frag.menta - Student’s Culture House.
