Educative and participative tools for sustainable development

We have developed a range of educational and participatory tools to enhance the theoretical and practical advancement of the principles of sustainable development at individual and community level. The knowledge assimilated with the ocassion of the Swiss experience exchange as well as the online sessions contributed to the development and organization of 12 consultative meetings and 5 informative meetings, organized in 5 neighbourhoods of Iasi, which focused on the local problems and to find for them sustainable solutions. To promote a sustainable life, we have developed 10 guides and published the sustainable development handbook, which has been distributed both in electronic format and in print format. The first Peasant Agriculture Support Association initiative was carried out since the first year of the implementation of the project, when we identified a local farmer who met the indicators on the sustainable production of the products provided. Several consumers have benefited from this initiative and have placed product orders on a regular basis. Urban gardening in Iași has been promoted for 3 gardening seasons by Mai Bine Association’s team, along with more than 30 volunteers from the community or from the partner organizations. Representatives of the partner organization from Switzerland have facilitated two workshops organized in Iasi, which have contributed to the promotion of sustainable living.
