Goal of the Activity

The primary goal is to activate a collective consciousness through awareness of the importance of the connection between three fundamental elements: mind-body-environment.
Motus Project and ESN share the promotion of a healthy lifestyle on an individual, social and environmental level.
The collaboration with an Educational Community for Minors aims to convey a message of presence and inclusion from the community for those who are somehow serving a sentence and will be included in the community again.

Description

During our welcome week and in concomitance with Green Month and Clean up the World 2020 we organized a waste collection on the beach, together with the boys of the Educational Community for Minors of the Penal Area "Chiccolino" and supported by the experience of the association Retake Bari. Finally we had a moment of meditation and connection with the Earth proposed by the association Motus Project - Kinesiology & Environment.
We began by doing our part armed with pliers and gloves to fill our bags with plastic waste and more in the area of the busiest beach in the city: Pane e Pomodoro. The Retake association provided us with the equipment and dispensed information about the waste we encountered.
Afterwards we participated in the activity proposed by Motus Project, that is meditation at sunset, accompanied by the relaxing sound of the Tibetan bell while we thought about what we had just done.
