"The project has developed from a partnership of 6 different organizations from 5 countries, which presented all a great touristic potential, but with many weaknesses and needs in the field of the ecotourism development: low interest to diminish the pollution by environmental legislation; insufficient investments for the development and promotion of cultural objectives; mass tourism encouraged; lack of waste, suitable and sanitary facilities in numerous tourist attractions; limited access of persons with disabilities at tourist sites; lack of tourist information; poor use of alternative energy sources; lack of public-private partnerships for ecotourism; lack of institutional structures for regional development of ecotourism; lack of marketing plans aimed at ecotourism; insufficient use of ICT to promote ecotourism development. In this context, the project main project objectives were: the promotion of environmental education among young people and adults and the development of ecotourism, as a starting point for the development of active citizenship.The participants directly involved in the learning activities (blended mobility for adult learners) were 4 for each partner organization (24 in total), selected among volunteers, students, tourism workers, travel agencies clients in each partner organisation which elaborated a specific procedure based on the their context and specific needs, considering established common criteria. We estimated to have involved at least a number of 500-600 participants in average among all the different local activities carried out by all partner orgnisations. All the activities carried out, both locally and internationally, were well illustrated in the final conference held in San Venanzo Municipal conference room at the presence of all project partners, from France (Martinique), Greece, Portugal, Romania and Italy and a good number of citizens and local authorities, who shared the results obtained.pursuing the project objectives. Project activities: after a deep SWOT analysis made in each partner country since the project application, the partner organizations developed preparation activities and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, dissemination and communication plans; since the first transnational project meeting in Romania there was the definition of the target group selection criteria the presentation of financial plan and reporting instruments in order to ensure a quality management of the project. The partnership developed a research on the awareness of ecotourism and sustainable development in each partner country (Study of ecotourism development), which revealed potential opportunities and the difficulties and needs in the field of the ecotourism development. During the project, learning activities for adult learners were developed and implemented during two blended mobilities in Portugal and in Greece, with the methodology of ""Green Aula"" on the theme of ecotourism. In each partner organization, local projects for the ecotourism promotion were developed, involving a large number of participants, included students and adult population. The description and results of the local project is part of the Manual of ecotourism promotion. In total 5 transnational project meetings were held, 1 in each partner country, two conferences: an opening conference to present the project objectives (in Vaslui, Romania) and a final conference to share and disseminate the project results (in San Venanzo, Italy). The main project results have been: Study of ecotourism development, Manual of ecotourism promotion, ""Green Aula"" experential learning workshop, local projects on the theme of ecotourism involving target groups and local stakeholders, project web site with e-learning space and 4 Newsletters describing the activities implemented during the 2 years. The web material will be on line for 5 years after the project ending, then the contents will be available in the partners' official websites. The project impact on participants was based on their improved awareness and knowledge about environmental sustainability, ecotourism and the importance to be protagonist of a change in the way of using the natural resources or the territory, also for tourism purpose, which needs to be sustainable, respectful of natural, cultural, traditional and social presence for the future development of all; the participating organizations developed new ecological educational programs based on the experience acquired during the project; they strengthened the relationship with local organizations to promote ecotourism and a responsible attitude of tourists towards the natural and cultural environment. At local level there was an increased understanding of the necessity of ecotourism promotion, development of new programs and activities for environmental education as part of the education for an active citizenship, the involvement of local stakeholders in environmental education activities."

In almost all European cities, people from different origins coexist together, and the interaction of these diverse groups generates an intercultural space where relationships can be forged. The recognition of identities and cultural heritage enriches the lives of citizens and is fundamental for the construction of positive, respectful and tolerant relationships. This same recognition reinforces the idea and feeling of belonging, important aspects for the promotion of active and participatory citizenship. Each individual maintains his/her cultural identity, but at the same time is enriched by diversity.In a democratic state, it is important to educate citizens to be active agents, especially young people, in order for them to discover who they are and recognise and accept cultural diversity as an enriching element. Their active participation is essential and vital, both for society as well as their own development. Cultural and artistic interventions in public spaces can be one of the tools for young people to express their feelings, respect each other mutually, accept differences and similarities, coexist peacefully and be active citizens.For these reasons, organisations from four countries of the European Union (Italy, Romania, Cyprus and Spain) decided to apply for this project, which main objectives are:-To improve key competences of youth workers, using artistic and cultural interventions as tools for social transformation, peaceful coexistence, inclusion and active participation of young people;-To learn about actions, projects and activities that partner organizations carry out with the aim of recognizing and valuing the identity and cultural heritage of the territory;-To exchange good practices and experiences in which active and participatory citizenship of the population is promoted through cultural and artistic interventions in public spaces;-To create a network of European institutions which are aware of the importance of active participation from citizens, in order to build a Europe that is united in diversity, while respecting and valuing individual differences.The main activities carried out in the framework of the project are:-Coordination meeting in Romania (April 2019) to specify strategies, working methods and details of future activities.-Local Activities I (April – August 2019): analysis of the situation, mapping and meetings with stakeholders and identification of good practices.-Training Event in Spain (September 2019) on art, inclusion and cultural creation. 3 people participate for each partner organization (youth workers, educators, trainers, facilitators, etc. with experience in cultural and artistic interventions and interested in adquiring new competences to develop a higher quality work), plus 3 trainers/facilitators. Sessions: presentation of participants, organizations and Local Activities I, conceptualization on the topic and management of public interventions, visit to Lagunillas neighbourhood, preparation and presentation of workshops for Local Activities II, Erasmus+ Programme, networking and future projects.-Local Activities II (September – December 2019): two local workshops and a visibility activity (intervention) in each country.-Final Meeting in Italy (January 2020): presentation of the project and its results, including main outputs (eBook and video), visibility activity with local population and evaluation of the project among partner organizations.This project had an important impact on both participants (new competences acquired and/or improved, personal and professional development, etc.), on organizations (use of new competences and tools, exchange of good practices, better quality of work, new priorities and approaches, new collaborations at local and international level, etc.), and on society in general (active participation of youth in public space, enhancement of cultural heritage, greater awareness of the situation of people at risk of exclusion and belonging to different minorities, appreciating their artistic and musical culture, etc.).Finally, it should be underlined that the implementation of this project confirmed to all organizations the importance of developing international projects that have an impact at local level and benefit local population, which should be the focus and guidance of all projects carried out in the framework of Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
