OUR PIONEERING GREEN-FOCUSED INITIATIVES
Handcrafting for a Green-Conscious Household
We were the coordinator of a small-scale cooperation project under Erasmus+ framework. The general aim of the project was to develop green consciousness and skills by approaching it from the practical side of handcrafting focusing on sustainable households to include rural families with economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We targeted several EU values: environmental protection, sustainability, education, social inclusion, community-building.
Urban gardening programme
The Urban Gardening Programme, coordinated by Csermely, successfully educated young people in sustainable urban agriculture and self-sufficiency. Through interactive workshops, participants learned practical skills like composting, planting, and maintaining urban green spaces, all with a focus on ecological responsibility and community involvement. This initiative promoted green practices in urban settings, fostered environmental awareness, and empowered youth to actively contribute to sustainable city living.
Youth projects
In the framework of our Erasmus+ youth accreditation we carry out several green-minded initiatives about ecological lifestyles, the R3, environmental sustainability and the nature-mind connection.
Local initiatives
Csermely is deeply integrated into the local community, since we organise a diverse spectrum of highly participative activities such as: outdoor education programmes, field trips, environmental education camps, workshops, presentations at local high schools, panel discussions at related conferences and events. Furthermore, we carry out research activities not only about our local environmental realities, but also comparative analysis with selected countries. Some of our key publications include reports about the Beetle Fauna and Crane Migration.
