From July 3 to 10, 10 teen from 14 to 17 years old, took care of various green areas in the San Leonardo district of Parma (Italy). The young volunteers were accompanied by 2 leaders, older volunteers who have already had this experience in the past.
During the days, the volunteers alternated between moments of cleaning parks and workshops on global citizenship education.
They created an awareness campaign to promote among citizens the separate waste collection and cleanliness in green areas.
They accompanied a group of children aged 5 to 12 in cleaning a park.
They created a scarecrow using recycled materials.
They have designed and created pins that tell their experience of volunteering.
An extremely important experience for their personal growth, for the care of the environment, an example for other teens like them and for the community.
