On the 5th of April 2019, 30 young people from 6 different European countries gathered together in the seaside town of Praiano on the Amalfi Coast. Why did they travel to this remote but beautiful part of the world? It wasn\u2019t just for the stunning views, gelato and sunshine but to take part in the Erasmus+ youth exchange \u201cMake it local\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what was \u2018Make it Local\u2019 all about? Well, as the name suggests, the aim was to draw attention to the importance of local products, encouraging participants to research and share a traditional product form their country. There was also a strong focus on sustainability and the impact that we all have on the economy of local products.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project was organised by the Commune di Praiano, who did a fantastic job of making sure that everyone felt at home, together with ACARBIO. As mentioned, the project involved 6 different countries, the partners were; The Zditovo secondary school in Belarus, Asociacion viaje a la sostenibilidad in Spain, Institutol de Instruire in Dezvoltare Millenium in Moldova, Asociatia de Tineri Din Ardeal in Romania and MI Sumy Specialized School in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main goal of the project was to share traditional knowledge about a local product from each country, this was done through a workshop. Each day saw the turn of a new country who would give a step by step demonstration on how to make their product, with all of the participants being involved.<\/span><\/p>\n
