Ponte Veslo Youth Educational Camp On Friday, September 13, until Sunday, September 15, NGO Our Action organized an educational camp for young people at the Ponte Veslo site. The aim of the camp was to encourage young people to develop tools through collaboration and teamwork, reflection on problems and solutions to project activities and how to improve actions, as well as organizational planning for the benefit of local communities. During the camp, young people were given interactive outdoor workshops that focused on marine pollution, ecology, what are green festivals, and conflict resolution. A coastal clearing action was held and olive trees were donated to a site that suffered the effects of a fire two years ago. Of course there were times for swimming, jumping, diving, enjoying the outdoors, sunrises and sunsets.
