Less of Mess — Poland

In June I took part in Erasmus+ project Less of Mess, that took place in Murzasichle, Poland. City is in Tatra mountains, so everywhere was beautiful nature and amazing view. The project was focused on ecology, environment, recycling… 

We were accommodated in simple hotel with swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. 

There was about 30 participants, mostly girls, from 8 countries. Everyone was friendly, openminded and talkative.

First day we played some games to meet each other and remember names of all participants. The next day we had activities in workshop room (when it was sunny, we were outside). We were looking for information about consumption of water and production of CO2 in Tetra Pak, information about greenwashing (that was very interesting), fast fashion, eco-projects and activities in our countries… 

In the middle of the project we had free afternoon. We went on trip to Zakopane, beautiful, historical city. In the evening we had bbq and the next night there was international night, where we could share cultures, food and drinks from our country. 

For the second half of the project we moved to workshop room to hotel few meters away. Our task for the rest of the project was to create web page. We were separated into groups. Each group had its own topic. The topic of my group was emotional support and advices in eco-depression. We found some interesting, motivational videos, articles and funny memes and then we created webpage on Wix. 

Organisers were great and the project was very well prepared. 

It was the best project of my life so far, I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward for another E+.
