  • The Baltic Sea Region Was Cleaned During the Environmental Game
    The Baltic Sea region was cleaned during the environmental game On September 19, people from different countries competed in waste collecting and sorting during the Clean Games events. More than 4000 participants collected 96 tons of garbage. All the events in the Baltic Sea basin were held within an international tournament called Clean Games Baltic Cup 2020. The participants cleaned the streets of Horsens (Denmark), the forest near Warsaw (Poland), the streets of Riga (Latvia). It turned out that trash can be found in large quantities in various parts of Europe. Helen, the game's organizer in Denmark, says: “I tried to collect trash most days when I take my sons to school and kindergarten, but it's still a lot of trash I would say”. In Lithuania, the game took place at one of the points on the route of Giedrius Bučas (pictured below - third from the right), an activist hitchhiking along the Lithuanian border and removing garbage from parking lots. After the game, the participants put the collected garbage onto a special area with markings (see photo below). Inga, the organizer of the game in Lithuania, shared her experience:“This grid shows what are the composition of trash in our nature and it was really eye-opening. Most of them are food packages, we wouldn't need them at all - for example, take away coffee cups. The idea is that it's not only the trash problem but that we produce packages that are used so short and non- recyclable. So I'm planning to write an article”.

    Clean Games Workshop Has Changed the Baltic Activists Idea on How to Hold eco- events Activists of the Baltic region have held 8 ecological competitions in waste collecting and sorting after the Clean Games workshop. They have become a part of the global project community. Now they are ready to organize competition in their cities on their own. The participants will take part in holding the Clean Games Baltic Cup in September. The workshop has united more than 50 eco-activists from Sweden, Germany, Latvia, Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, Estonia, Finland, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and even hot Cameroon! The goal of the educational program is to engage the activists in global network and cooperation for solving ecological and social problems. For only a week the workshop students learned how to work with the Clean Games methodology and IT-platform. At the end of the webinar series they organized 8 test games for their friends and colleagues. Regardless of the thousand-kilometres distance, the workshop has helped the volunteers to find like-minded people from home cities and countries. On the first day the participants tried themselves in playing Clean Games and competed in cleaning city streets and their flats. “In the beginning I doubted whether we will persuade our participants to be responsible, complete the hometasks and listen to webinars throughout the working days. But our volunteers were really enthusiastic about the work and managed to cope”, - shared her initial fears Jane Demina, the workshop coordinator. Sofia from Latvia had to play solely, as none of her friends came to the game.
