Description

This action aims at networking, exchanging knowledge, experience and best practices. ANTIGONE has over 20 years’ experience in inclusion and empowerment practices, against all forms of discrimination and implements projects related to climate change awareness, promotion of zero waste practices, environmental education, etc. Since November 2021 the PP operates a ZeroWaste Center at its premises, designed to offer awareness and training activities of circular economy and waste minimization. In the context of this center, amongst others, ANTIGONE seeks to further empower vulnerable groups

Summary of the results

This bilateral initiative aimed to promote better networking between ANTIGONE and HGUT, fostering a fruitful exchange of knowledge, experiences, and best practices. It involved four face-to-face meetings: two held in Norway in August, where ANTIGONE visited HGUT''s premises, and two in Greece in October, with experts from HGUT visiting ANTIGONE''s offices and the Zero Waste Center. The meetings included presentations, discussions, workshops, participatory planning activities, and introductions to each organization''s work, values, principles, and vision. These activities had a dual significance: they enriched both partners'' practices by introducing new elements and perspectives, and they also created opportunities for potential new collaborations and perspectives between the two entities.
