On Thursday, July 6, the Energy Institute Hrvoje Požar (EIHP) hosted the Zaželi Association and representatives of organizations from Spain and the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten. Maja Božičević Vrhovčak, PhD, gave them a presentation about EIHP.
The association is implementing an Erasmus+ project called "Greenwashing = Brainwashing", with a total value of 60,000 euros. Two foreign partners also participate in the project: the non-profit organization "BACKSLASH" from Valencia, Spain, and the overseas organization "Caribbean Education and Culture Foundation" based on a Caribbean island. St. Maarten.
The goal of the project above is to raise awareness among young people about the contemporary problem of greenwashing, i.e. green manipulation, and to support the green transformation of the work of organizations in the non-profit sector. One planned project activity is a study visit to organizations and institutions in Zagreb that will serve as examples of good practice.
