Photo Exhibition "VolunTour: Better Environment – Better Tomorrow"

150 days in Nepal with the European Voluntary Service (EVS)

From 28th February to 16th March 2018
Centro di Ateneo per i Diritti Umani “Antonio Papisca”
Venue: Aula Iqbal Masih, Via Martiri della Libertà, 2 - Università di Padova

The exhibition, that is the closing event of the project “VolunTour: Better Environment – Better Tomorrow”, is a travelling story of 150 days in the Kathmandu Valley, seen through the eyes of solidarity, not of a tourist.

The project involved the local population of the Kavresthali village in the context of environmental protection and waste management.

The common theme of the photo exhibition is the concept of “change” at the social level for the promotion of a sustainable development as well as at an individual level, since it was also an experience of personal growth and training, thanks to the international mobility programme provided by the European Voluntary Service.

Opening day: Wednesday 28th February 2018, h. 17.00
