News from the Project

Image first presentation
First presentation of the project to Icelandic organisations
On the 24th of January the Grey4Green partner Environment Agency of Iceland met three key stakeholders that showed great interest and enthusiasm for the project. It was a good opportunity to share participants' knowledge and experience in organising volunteering projects or working with the elderly.
Image volunteering actions
Grey4Green brought together different generations into volunteering actions
The Municipality of Lousada, together with the contributions of three schools, organised tree plantation actions to promote intergenerational volunteering. As elderly people feel strongly motivated to help nature conservation by thinking about future generations and being around them, the initiative was a true success!
Image BioFòrum Conference
The Grey4Green project was presented at the national BioFòrum Conference (Portugal)
On November the 5th, the Grey4Green project was presented during the national BioFòrum Conference (Portugal) as a positive example of a project aimed at promoting active ageing while contributing to climate action.

Not everybody knows that in the South of Aarhus, a forest belt stretches 7 kilometres along the coast. The part of the forest near the city is known as Marselisborg Skovene (the Marselisborg Forests), where the Municipality of Aarhus decided to set up a Forest User Council.
