“Super inspiring workshops, encouraging people to live in a more eco-friendly way. It certainly contributes to improving my awareness of waste segregation and minimizing the creation of new ones.”
"The Carbon Literacy Training was really insightful! I often find talking about the current climate situation quite depressing so it’s really nice to be learning with a much more optimistic outlook and having named actionable steps I can take personally."
"It is lovely to be in a friendly and enthusiastic group of people cooperating together to learn how to grow our own food and nurture our environment."
"The Sewing Club is not just about sewing; it's an opportunity for interaction, fun, and learning. We also delve into cultural education, and most importantly, we develop relationships that feel like family."
"It's so important seeing so many like-minded individuals working together to create a better society through events like food support, climate festivals, and swap shops, I feel greatly motivated and decided to carry on the same spirit throughout my life."
