“SUSTAINABILITY FOR DEMOCRACY,
DEMOCRACY FOR SUSTAINABILITY”
2d
Mobility – Finland 6-10/5/2019
"Democracy,
Environment and Economy"
In view of the second mobility (Vaasa, Finland, 5/5 -
11/5/2019) of the Erasmus + KA2 program entitled “Democracy for Sustainability,
Sustainability for Democracy” and for the needs of the "Democracy,
Environment and Economy" subdivision, students and teachers of the 5th GEL
Veria had the opportunity to be informed by experts and professionals about
environmental and economic issues related to the prefecture of Imathia.
Thus, at first, during the visit of the member of the Ecology Group of Veria, Mr.
N. Aslanoglou, to the school on 22.3.2019, they got important information about
the situation in the plain of Veria and the Aliakmonas riverside area, on the
way the Municipality manages the agricultural waste, and what every active
citizen can do to reduce the pollution of the area.
Then, on March 28, 1919, students and teachers
interviewed Mrs. A. Fillida, Quality Control Officer of the agricultural
cooperative enterprise "ALMME", which has been active for decades in
the region and is a role model worthy of imitation for displaying environmental
sensitivity, participatory management, financial stability, and social outreach
to their employees.
Finally, on 29.3.2019, the project participants
visited the "Epsilon" company, were toured to its premises and
informed by the managers of this newly established company, which manages
organic waste and turns it into biofuel and electricity, thus contributing to
the recycling process in the plain and the wider region of Imathia in an
economically convenient way.
The participant students and teachers, feeling
"wiser" and "more creative" after these visits, are getting
ready to impart what they learned to their European classmates in Finland next
month.
