Final Article
Ahoj! This week marks the final week of our Esc project about the European Mobility Week.
In the first week we got to know each other, the history of Trnava and the culture of Slovakia. We tried a lot of typical dishes like trdelník, lagnos, burčiak, cigánska, klobasa, halušky and borovička, Tatratea (all were vel’mi dobre). We also visited the castles and the city’s of Nitra, Trenčín, Smolenice, Martín and Bratislava.
On the other side we promote healthy habits, and we share some tricks about how to be greener and more sustainable with the environment and in our lifes.
For example, we participated and promoted the campaigns of “I love running” and “cycling with citizens”. These is one of the reasons why we also got bikes from the major.
We also stepped out of our comfort zone by creating and presenting some workshops and games for the students of the ‘Sports Gymnasium Jozefa Herdu’ about sustainable transport and how to improve ourselves in these areas while we got some fun with the students during these activities.
On the more creative aspect, we designed many flyers about European Solidarity Corps, Erasmus+ projects, Discover EU and about the association ‘Youth for Equality’. We also went to the street to share these flyers plus some information about our experiences with the locals, in other way we collected some data about the local behaviours in relation with the means of transport with some surveys that we prepared beforehand.
Other activities were cleaning the green areas of Trnava and the new building of the Charita organisation, handing out a lot of the Charita newspapers with our beloved bikes and visiting an ecocapsule, a garbage disposal and a nuclear power plant.
In conclusion, we did many different activities and workshops, had lots of fun, enjoyed tasty food and drinks and made many new friends!
Xoxo the Eichhörnchen team! <3
