Cypriot Participants pre - meeting 

ACPELIA had the opportunity to host their preparations activities on the 28th of May 2024 at C technical and vocational school in Limassol.

During these preparation activities the participants focused on three major categories in preparation for the Youth Exchange. Before to start with their research participants had a discussion with Nikolas president of NGO and chemical engineer for sustainable cooking and plants and also about effects of climate change in Cyprus trying to suggest also some sustainable methods. Then participants made 4 groups and they start working all together for their information's for their research.

First, the participants did research about sustainable cooking. This research focused on sustainable yet wild vegetation that grows around Cyprus that is used in Cypriot cuisine and how they are cooked and prepared. Whole research can be found here: 

The second, was to do research on in what ways climate change is affecting Cyprus specifically and the changes that have happened in the country throughout time, because of fossil fuels and carbon emissions. This also went a step further to do some research on sustainable methods that Cyprus needs to improve.

This research was concentrated into 4 posters which you can find below.

The third was to find actual vegetation that grows sustainably in the surrounding area. The participants found two such vegetation that is can be used in salads, called (in the Greek Cypriot dialect) as Kapari and Levka
