The project, 'Rivers of Change: Awareness and Action for Water Protection through Zero Waste Lifestyle' aims to instill environmental - especially water - awareness and zero-waste practices among 3000 high school students in 10 cities across Romania. The primary goal is to foster a sense of responsibility towards the environment, promoting active citizenship and sustainable living.
The target audience includes high school students, families, and local communities in cities such as Timișoara, Cluj, Bucharest, and others. By focusing on youth, the project aims to create a ripple effect, influencing broader societal change.
The initiative involves educational sessions, waste cleanup events, installation of water-saving devices, and a transformative camp experience. The multifaceted approach aims to create a lasting impact on participants' behaviour and community practices.
The project spans 12 months with activities designed to create continuous engagement and awareness throughout this period.
Led by Project Manager Nicoara Raluca, the project involves a dedicated team comprising Irina Latiș and Ana Maria Moga. Collaboration extends to schools, municipalities, and organizations such as Liceul Teoretic Henri Coanda and Zero Waste Romania, creating a network of support for project success
