At Zoran Mitrović Consulting, we are proud to be part of impactful initiatives that drive change and foster international collaboration. One such initiative is the CLEAR Project (Conscious Living – Ecofriendly Approaches to Responsible Tourism), an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange that has recently been approved and will take place in Gran Canaria in July 2025 with participants from Spain, Belgium and Serbia.
This project, organized by the NGO O2 por la Vida, aims to raise environmental awareness among young people, particularly regarding sustainable tourism practices. With tourism playing a major role in many economies, it’s essential to develop responsible approaches that balance economic benefits with ecological sustainability.
About O2 por la Vida
O2 por la Vida is a non-profit environmental association that specializes in sustainable and educational activities aimed at children and youth. Their work centers around topics such as environmental protection, sustainability, and animal welfare. Through workshops, sports, and nature-based activities, the organization promotes a healthy, sustainable lifestyle in the local community of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.
The mission of CLEAR
The CLEAR Project is designed to educate and empower young participants by promoting ecologically sustainable practices when traveling and exploring new cultures. Through this program, participants will:
- Gain a deeper understanding of responsible tourism and its impact.
- Learn practical ways to adopt eco-friendly travel habits.
- Engage in meaningful discussions about sustainability.
- Exchange knowledge and experiences with peers from different backgrounds.
Activities that will be carried out
The project will include a diverse range of activities aimed at immersing participants in sustainable tourism practices, fostering cultural exchange, and developing leadership skills, including:
Cultural Nights – Participants will present their traditions, food, and customs, encouraging intercultural learning and appreciation.
Workshops & Discussion Panels – Interactive sessions where participants will learn about ecological awareness and responsible tourism practices.
TED Talks – An opportunity for participants to present their insights on sustainability, public speaking, and leadership.
Educational Trips – Guided excursions across Gran Canaria to witness the effects of mass tourism firsthand and discuss sustainable solutions with local experts.
