💡 Description: The general goal of the project is to promote sustainable habits, green mobility, well-being and healthy lifestyle. We aim to make young people understand the importance of using bicycle on a daily basis. We want to equip young people for the challenges of the green transition and to empower them to became active actors for a green life.We live in Gorj county, one of the most affected area of carbon foot print, and with our project we want to
encourage young people from our community to use methods to reduce carbon foot print locally. Our project is based on the benefits of using a bicycle daily and on the need to change our lifestyle for a green future.
We started from the idea that our area is deeply affected by pollution due to the Oltenia Energy Complex and we need solutions to improve our standard of living and to connect with nature and have a healthier life. We understand that the time to act is now. So, we want to turn our passion for sustainability into action and we want to contribute to changing the mindsets of young people and to make them aware that using a bicycle every day to school, to job or to go out brings us all closer to a green future. Through our project we want to
encourage young people to take the initiative and actively participate in changing their lifestyle and those around them and to use the bicycle as much as possible.

1.Organize 10 offline information sessions/trainings about the benefits of using bicycle daily for a number of at least 300 young people in schools, high schools and University.
