Before leaving, I expected to come back home with a new story about nature, upcycling, art and youth. But after two weeks, I arrived home with a story about friendship, human values, community, hope.
W_up project during the two weeks I spent in the amazing location of Tunarica camping, was not only about learning how to upcycle plastic bags, how to prepare homemade toothpaste and deodorant, it was not only about cleaning beaches or playing games. The project regarded people knowing, contact with nature, exchange and mutual help with the local community and culture, and connection with the territory.
Be curious, be open to diversity, listen to people’s live stories, observe everything, and ask questions. Travel, as much as you can.
