Today, it is increasingly important to pay attention not only to ourselves, but also to our environment and its issues. Now we’ll show you, through specific examples, how much you can do when you have a good idea.
Pragulic | Czech Republic
In the initiative, homeless guides show visitors around the city, places they know well but which would remain hidden from many. The program gives people a chance to understand what life can be like when they are alone on the streets. Pragulic offers work for the homeless and a lasting memory for tourists, and it is also a great social awareness program.
#nemluxustaska | Hungary
Every year, the fundraising movement launches a charity campaign to fill women’s bags, no longer used but still in good condition, with essential feminine hygiene and toiletry products that are in short supply among people living in difficult financial circumstances. The initiative has been working since 2018 to effectively improve the situation of women living in period poverty.
Släppa | Poland
With sustainability in mind, the brand produces household chemicals that are made from natural ingredients and are biodegradable. In addition to sustainability, Släppa has placed a strong emphasis on social and charitable responsibility since its launch. As well as advocating and supporting the LGBT+ community through educational campaigns, their long-term goal is to financially support the fight against homelessness as well as efforts related to equal opportunities and body positivity.
Mélylevegő projekt (‘Deep Breath Project’—the Transl.) | Hungary
The aim of the initiative is to raise awareness at a societal level about the importance of supporting mental health and its opportunities. Since its launch, a community of people has been formed to actively respond to emerging issues such as body image and eating disorders, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, and even cyberbullying. The four founding members are young university students, doing the research and creating the texts and illustrations for each post in their spare time.
Pomelaj | Slovenia
The community employs people with disabilities and groups in need, who can learn local weaving traditions and make their own handcrafted bags and baskets. In addition to weaving, they also produce handmade jams and other delicacies, with which they try to enter the market. Thanks to their varied offer, everyone can find the products they like.
