Many people come across these opportunities when looking for international programmes, but it is not always clear how they differ. Both are fantastic opportunities for learning, travel, and building international connections, but they have different goals and frameworks.

Szatyor Association, as a coordinating organisation within the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme, has not only implemented volunteering projects over the past years but has also developed an incubation model that actively supports the organisational development of other civil society organisations and eco-communities. At the heart of our work is the belief that volunteering is not merely a way to engage additional human resources, but also a long-term tool for organisational development and community building.

Sustainable Food is food that is safe and healthy to eat. It is produced without dangerous pesticides and chemicals, non-essential antibiotics or growth promotion supplements.

World Water Day 2022 (https://www.worldwaterday.org/ ) , was announced by the ONU following the Rio Conference, and celebrated for the first time in 1993. It was chosen as a day to remember the importance and exploitation of the planet's water resources by man.

Eating is something that involves all of us, an action performed every day, usually several times a day, which perhaps for this very reason we sometimes happen to perform without paying to it all the attention it would actually require, unconsciously choosing what to put on our plate.

Sustainability is all about creating an enterprise or business model that has the least impact on the environment. In skincare and beauty, sustainability means having recyclable packaging, reducing the use of single-use plastics, carefully selecting non-toxic ingredients, ensuring product safety, and decreasing the carbon footprint from manufacturing to delivery.

Sustainable energy is derived from resources that can maintain current operations without jeopardizing the energy needs or climate of future generations. The most popular sources of sustainable energy, including wind, solar and hydropower, are also renewable.

In Nigeria, the demand for palm kernel oil – extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree – is estimated to be double than what local producers can currently supply. Palm oil is used for cooking and it is also an important ingredient in a variety of food and cosmetics products.

Electricity is a secondary energy source that we get from the conversion of other sources of energy such as coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power, and so on. These sources are known as “primary sources.” Primary sources can be renewable or non-renewable. So what are renewable energy sources and they are all sustainable?
