At least till 18th December Copenhagen is whole living with the climate change prevention issue. Parallel to COP15 there are exhibitions, concerts, campaigns, street actions and... Kilmaforum09. It's a civil society summit on the topic of sustainable living, providing with lots of sessions, side events and opportunities for people concerned about environment to meet like-minded people. On Friday our one and only SCI representatives were holding a session about volunteering and good practices of linking it with education on sustainability. We managed to gather not only members of SCI Italy, France, Austria, Germany, Serbia, Poland and Catalunya, but also many other people, who wanted to learn more about our mischievous in the area on unpaid work.
We started with general presentation of the movement, followed by more detailed story about experimental green workcamps and the concept of eco-messengers network. Our listeners were really into the topics. We got enough questions and comments to fill whole 3 hours (!) of the session. Topics were many, starting from evaluation, finishing on the conflict between traveling far to the project being concerned about high personal carbon footprint. SCIers were not only answering the questions, but they kept ears open for good practices worked out by other organizations. We officially left our own, green footmark in Copenhagen!
