Samobor

Samobor is a city located in Croatia near Zagreb, part of our project agenda was to visit the city and learn things about it. We met in the moring and grabbed some snacks and also each of us had an orange that we were supposed to trade with someone for information about the town.

We got to the centre through the wood shortcuts and there we started gathering knowledge while drinking coffe and enyoing the sunny day.

The locals were friendly to share information so that we could complete our tasks to answer the questions given to us.

Samobor has a lot of hidden gems like its famous dessert Crame Šnita and Razom the beer brewery. In the center of Samobor square is the Tomislovan Trg filled with beauful caffe bars. The name of Samobor river is Grabna. People of Samobor gather on Saturday on a bazzar that is called Samište. One of the more interesting people born in Samobor in Ferdo Livadič who was a croatian composer that contributed to cultral renewal. The battle of Samobor happened in 1st of March 1441 it was fought between forces of Urič 2 of Celje and Stjepan Bonič in Samobor which was then the Kingdom of Slavonia within the Kingdom of Hungary. The last family living in Samobor were Montechocoli who were Italians.

We finish the mission with a walk to the famous Samobor castle where we saw the old ruins and rooms while also enjoying the sight.

Organic ferilizer from food waste

Turning food waste into organic fertilizer creates economic and enviromental benefits, which can improve soil health, help reduce erosion and improve water quality.  By composting your unwanted food waste, you are energizing the soil for future plant growth. Organic fertilizer is the best food for the soil, it is a good source of nutrients and mironutrients for the plants which are essential for them to grow.  Even when all actions have been taken to use your wasted food, certain inedible parts will still remain and can be turned into compost to feed and nourish the soil. Like yard waste, food waste scraps can also be composted. What is compost?

Tools used in the project

In order to achieve a remarkable result throughout some activities that involve people with a common aim , there have to be implemented some tools that would help in learning and understanding a topic, so that is why some magic tools are important for a project that provides sustainability, too. Furthermore, these are the ones used in our LLLS journey: Firstly, some icebreakers aka activities to get to know each other For example, making a circle with the whole group so each person, one by one, says his/her name and associates it with an animal and a gesture. Another game is the Clock game: the one that help people meet and discuss on a topic for about 3-4 minutes for every hour of a clock (12 meeting per general) Secondly, to start the team-building there is another activity by staying in a circle with eyes closed and trying to take 2 random hands and then untying the formed knot of hands connecting to the nature and learning more about what it means, what everybody is doin...

4Rs

Before reading this diary it is very important to define some terms about sustainibility, known also as the 4Rs - reuse, renew, reduce and recycle. Every one of them is a bit different and specific in its own way.  Renewing is repairing old things instead of buying new ones. For example fixing the old electronics, sewing up or fixing the clothing. Reusing represents repeated use of components or elements. It's about choosing to reuse the materials rather then throwing them away. We made small flowers from old clothing but with a little bit of imagination and initiative I am sure you could do anything you want. Reducing means decreasing the materials we are using on daily basis. Reducing use of water, car transportation, usage of electricity, leftovers, packages, plastic materials or clothing.  Many people don't know the difference between recycling and separating. Separating stands for dividing waste into plastic, paper and glass. Recycling is making things from materials that...
