Infinite Opportunities Association organizes Green Gate, a training course for a positive change in young people’s attitudes and lifestyle for sustainable living. The Course aims at raising awareness of our individual carbon print and stimulating young people’s responsibility towards environment. We want to contribute for sustainable consumption, effective use of resources, waste management and reuse.

Green Gate methodology is based on the principles of NFE and active participation, and includes:

• learning by doing – arts handcrafts, transformation of old disused materials and bringing them back to life through renovation and recycling, visit to a local energy efficient windmill and bio-farm;
• creative role play and simulations;
• open discussions and debates encouraged by brainstorming session;
• audio visual presentations and lectures;
• activities in a Creative Lab environment stimulating the active involvement and input of each participant.
