Green Vibes, Taste Bites

What was the main topic of the project?

JuliusLiiv – Generating a sustainable lifestyle and being aware green energy in a world filled with consumerism, automatic living styles and addictions.

Veronika Grankina - The project was about cooking and connecting with nature. Besides learning how to cook different meals we had activities that included physical exercise and also activities in the stables and in the garden.

Kristina Vammus - Doing green activities

Aleksandra Laidra – Green.

Anders Tüür - Saving the world.

Moonika Tšernikova - How to be more green and what you could do to support it.

Robin Liam Rüüberg - How to care for the environment better.

What was the biggest learning moment for you?

Julius Liiv – For me the biggest learning were Sushi workshop and repair old clothes. I also learned a lot about planting flowers, plants and generally about plants and how should I take care of them.

Veronika Grankina - Living in the castle with international peers was an amazing opportunity to learn about cultural differences and similarities of people around me. I really loved getting to know new people and make friends around the world. Most of the things that we learned about environment was actually basic knowledge, but somethings were new to me and now I actually feel a bit more competent on this topic :) Also an important moment was that people in my team spoke Estonian and as a resident of this country learning new things in Estonian was very cool and actually useful for me.

Kristina Vammus - Tie-dye shirts, there were lot of information about how much water in the world is drinkable

Aleksandra Laidra – Gardening.

Anders Tüür - Every workshop.

Moonika Tšernikova - It takes 2000L of clean water to make one T-shirt.

Robin Liam Rüüberg - How to do garden work.

Do you have any plans to continue being active in the field? If yes, in which way?

Julius Liiv – I tend to be more active in my own life and kind of passive force or suggest other member of the world or in my work to follow my lead, for example waste management, water usage and recycling materials (or just using a simple water bottle instead of plastic).

Veronika Grankina - I once again made sure that youth participation and working with youth in general is something I love, because exchanging experiences and working together to grow is amazing. I am planning to participate in other youth exchanges in the future because the experience on this one left me satisfied.

Kristina Vammus - I don’t think so because I don’t have the time for being active.

Aleksandra Laidra - In Erasmus, sure but not that much in the green field.

Anders Tüür - Yes, i definitely want to go to any new projects that are available. I would like to explore and make new friends and learn new stuff.

Moonika Tšernikova - Yes, i would really like to participate in Erasmus+ or other projects in this field.

Robin Liam Rüüberg - Yes, I am going to think about more when I do something that will affect the environment.

Would you recommend this experience to your friends? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Julius Liiv – I absolutely recommend every single E+ project with both hands. They wider our horizon and give an unforgettable experience and makes us value life more. Not all projects can be positive at first but almost every single one has a purpose for you.

Veronika Grankina - Yeah, I would totally recommend this experience to my friends, for acommodation and food were good, and the programme itself is pretty interesting. Every such experience has its own downsides and cool moments, but every time you learn something new and take lessons for future.

Kristina Vammus - Yes, you can meet new people and culture.

Aleksandra Laidra - I wouldn't, the programme and schedule weren't well thought out and just a mess overall.

Anders Tüür - Yes, everything was a real learning experience. Also, we travelled so it was nice

Moonika Tšernikova - Yes, it was very fun. Learning that we actually have very little resources on earth to live and it getting used for fast fashion and other stuff that isn’t really important is sad.

Robin Liam Rüüberg - Yes, it’s a really good place to socialise and learn new cultures and learn new things.

Other comments or anything else you would like to share? You can answer in your mother tongue, if you want!

Julius Liiv – I felt this project was completely different than i had experienced before and i was having hard just adjusting and adapting but in the end, I enjoyed it and would have liked to stay more and more.

Veronika Grankina - Thanks to organisation for amazing opportunity.

Anders Tüür - Palun andke mulle teadakui tuleb välismaal selliseid võimalusi veel

Robin Liam Rüüberg - The schedule wasn’t correct a lot of times and there was basically no free time.
