Title: Growing Resilient Engagement Activities Together
Summary
The GREAT Project was born from the willingness of Gżira and the partners involved to create a good environment for the sharing of opinions on EU based issues. The Countries involved - Malta, Cyprus, Poland, Italy, Lithuania, Greece - brought their experiences in what concerns the Climate Change problem, and the policies and volunteering activities related to this issue. The discussions were based on ecological and environmental policies, adopted from each different Country. Climate Change is a rising problem that produces multiple effects, from the immigration emergency to the depauperation of resources, that should be solved through cooperation and solidarity among European communities. GREAT was an occasion to select potential solution to this crucial phenomenon and to strengthen the bonds among the participant Countries.
