Sustainable Visions, Erasmus+ youth exchange in Marineo

Projects

From 2023 to today: European projects, our own initiatives and yearly events. Each page tells why it started, what it did and what it left behind.

Every project starts from a local need and a group of people who decide to take it on. Some are funded by the European Union, others are our own initiatives that come back every year.
