A workshop can be an engaging, energetic and interactive platform to generate new ideas, sharing experiences, improve processes and change the way people interact.

At the beginning of September 2017. educators at EkoCentrum organized a two day training on assertive communication for the EVS volunteers. The goal of the workshop was to adopt new tools that would help the participants to communicate more efficiently and to improve their interpersonal skills. Gatherings such as these are an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange and with engaging training environment the group dynamics also becomes more stimulating.

Zachęcamy do wybrania się z nami w muzyczną podróż po nieznanych zakątkach Turcji w ramach Muzycznej Nocy Nadodrza - już 09.09.2017 od godziny 18:00!

Nasi tureccy przyjaciele, muzycy – amatorzy zaprowadzą nas na tradycyjne wesele pod Izmirem, gdzie wspólnie odtańczymy damat halayı, by zaraz potem przenieść się na zachodnie krańce Anatoli i wypróbować swoich sił w tańcu zeybek.

Po wakacyjnej przerwie czas na tryumfalny powrót warsztatów upcyklingowych w EkoCentrum Wrocław :) Nowy sezon rozpoczniemy już w piątek, 1 września. Z łezką w oku i narzędziami w ręku pożegnamy wakacje i zabierzemy się za jesienne porządki. Ze starych desek, spinaczy, guzików i innych odpadowych elementów wyczarujemy wieszaki na biżuterię, klucze czy smycz. Będziemy szlifować, kleić, przybijać, malować!

W związku z prowadzonymi przez Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Dolnośląskiego konsultacjami dotyczącymi uchwał antysmogowych dla województwa, w tym jednej z nich dla gminy miejskiej Wrocław, chcielibyśmy zaprosić Państwa na szkolenie i dyskusję dotyczącą problemu smogu na osiedlach.

Już 8 września zapraszamy wszystkich chętnych na kolejne otwarte warsztaty z cyklu EkoSenior w działaniu! Rozpoczniemy zajęciami z cyklu Jeden Świat poruszającymi tematy współczesnych powiązań globalnych. We wrześniu czekają na nas także spotkania poświęcone naturalnym kosmetykom, a także przygotowaniom do kolejnego sezonu grzewczego i zagrożeniom jakie niesie ze sobą smog.

Zapraszamy do śledzenia na bieżąco programu zajęć w zakładce Zajęcia dla seniorów.

On Tuesday 22th of August 2017, EVS volunteers organized at EKo Centrum a workshop on archeology for children from UNESCO SUMMER CAMP. In fact, since one of our EVS volunteers is archeologist we have come up with the idea to present this exciting profession to our participants and connect it with ECO activities. The workshop started with a presentation regarding what is archaeology and how an archeological excavation actually looks like.

All of us wish to live in clean environment, breath fresh air without smog, enjoy swimming in clean river, sea and ocean. But not everyone is aware that there is much more we can do than just be mere polluters. Following this idea, we decided to organize a workshop for kids from UNESCO Initiative Summer Camp. The participants were asked to collect all the waste they had at home (plastic bottles, cardboards, ice cream sticks, CD/DVD boxes, cans) and bring it to our Foundation.

On Friday 18th, our EVS team made an excursion to Mount Ślęża, which is 718 meters high and is located close to Wrocław city. The main idea of the trip was to get acquainted with different kind of trees, history and to enjoy pure nature. It was a good challenge since we had to be both mentally as well as physically well prepared for it.

On Saturday 27th May 2017, north of Rynek, in the area surrounding Pomorska street, a joint ECO-ACTION took place. The Park Services staff was joined by Fundacja Ekorozwoju and its international team of EVS volunteers from Croatia, Turkey and Ukraine as well as by volunteers from UPS and local population residing nearby. That day we all had one goal in mind: give the entire neighborhood a new and more pleasant appearance by planting long rows of small mesmerizing bushes along the street.

One of the best ways to meet a new culture is to become acquainted with its cuisine. For this purpose, we joined the traditional cooking event which was organized by Foundation of Zolty Parasol at Park Tolpy on 18.06.2017. Our Turkish and Croatian volunteers prepared their traditional meals and presented them in the park in order to introduce their culture and tasting new delights.

Turkish menu included lentil balls, potato salad, Turkish delight, saksuka (ingredients are aubergine, tomato sauce, onion, spices) and mixture of sesame oil and grape molasses (sweet) which are very typical of Turkish cuisine.
