From the 21st to the 25th of
May Young liberals of Bosnia and Herzegovina
(MLBiH) together with NUV (Norway),
HNS (Croatia) and LDP (Serbia) organized
seminars about Climate change. The participants
visited four cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina:
Mostar, Zenica, Tuzla and Sarajevo, and organized in each local branch
a little seminar.
The
cooperation between Young liberals and environmental NGO's working with climate
change in particular continued. Džemila Agic, director of Eco Center Tuzla, was
on of the lecturers in this seminar, but also a great collaborator from the
beginning of the project.
Together
with Tim Clancy from Greenvisions Sarajevo the participants visited the
location of the first Eco – house for an environmentally friendly foundation in
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
They got the chance to discuss with experts from an Eco –construction company
from the UK,
about alternative, Eco – friendly technologies in energy, building and living.
The purpose
of these seminars was to educate young people about the theme of this years
project, to encourage them to elaborate
on problems from their countries and to come up with concrete solutions, which
could be implemented at the local level. Using cooperative learning as a
learning method, as well as group work, the participants got a chance to learn
about the causes and effects of climate change, and also about international
agreements on combating climate changes and global warming, such as the Kyoto
Protocol and the upcoming Copenhagen
meeting in 2009.
