For our Bremen partnership meeting three pupils from Gymnasium Nordhorn prepared a survey among their comrades about exchange and swapping habits. It shows that ideas of Exchange Economy are quite present among the age group and that the young people have strong ideas what to change and what not. The presentation pictures are presented here. The three students made interviews with 177 young persons . We regret very much that - due to the Corona travel restrictions - we could not hold our meeting. Tim, Rudel and Tom, the authors of the survey, were prepared to present and discuss their work at one of the sessions and to assist in various other ways during our meeting procedures. The school were they study had organized a special "Week of Challenges" where the pupils were asked to look for some project activity to join and to report about. They had chosen the contribution to our partnership work and we thank them very much for this initative and courage

On March 12 apart from the planting workshop, we also created an exchange corner. We chose a small coffee table, located near the entrance of our office space as the perfect spot to set up an exchange corner.  We put up a colorful sign, so that everyone who walks in can notice it. We had previously informed the users about the exchange corner and how it works, so that day everybody brought in an item they no longer used and put it on the coffee table. Then the exchanging started and everyone got to pick which item they would take home. Here are some pictures of our exchange corner during that day:   We really enjoyed setting up the exchange corner and our users loved the idea. We will continue encouraging them to keep the corner alive. - Go Green <3

Following the workshop we had on March 5, when we up-cycled old tin containers and turned them into plant pots, we organized another workshop on March 12 . The aim of this workshop was to plant special made greeting cards made from recycled paper and plant seeds with some soil and water in the previously made plant pots. The users had the chance to learn more about planting and making cards from recycled paper. Here are some pictures of the process: First, we put some moist soil in the plant pots: Then we cut up some greeting cards which are made from recycled paper and plant seeds and put them in the soil: Finally, we finished by adding another layer of soil and pouring some water: Here are the finished products: We put the plant pots on our window shelves so they will be able to soak up all the sunlight - Go Green <3

On 5 March 2020 , our association Go Green collaborated with the association Solem to organize an exciting creative upcycling workshop.  We noticed that people often choose to buy new products instead of using what they already have to make the same product themselves. Making something from scratch is not only good for the environment , but is great for the creator. The creator gets to use their crafting skills as well es their creativity and imagination to create a one of a kind useful object. During this workshop the disabled users had the chance to work together with young eco activists from different high schools in Skopje. These volunteers were able to collaborate with the users to create colorful plant pots.   Everyone brought different tools and at home materials that they don’t use like :  c ans, plastic bottles, newspaper, twine, rubber bands, ribbon.  We gathered everything we had into a big pile, we played loud music, rolled up our sleeves and start
