Other European countries inspired by Latvian cleanup organisation experience
2010.01.26
Last weekend, on 23-24 January in Tallinn a meeting of more than 40 cleanup organisers from seven countries of the world - Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Slovenia, Romania and Portugal - took place. During the conference, eight seminars were held where the Baltic cleanup organisers shared their experience, knowledge and impressions.
The main objective of the meeting of the cleanup organisers was to summarise the experience of large-scale cleanup organisation gathered so far and to share that new knowledge with those who had just begun raising public awareness in their home countries. The organisers of the Latvian Big Cleanup were happy to know that the last year's activities aimed at involving the neighbouring countries in more active participation in tidying up their land had brought results.
The organisers of the Big Cleanup believe that their cleanup experience and traditions will continue attracting the attention of green thinking people in other countries and in the coming years large-scale cleanups will be organised not only in the Baltic States and in Europe, but all over the world.
At the final meeting of the conference the cleanups organisers from other participating countries were invited to the Latvian Big Cleanup on 24 April 2010, when all Latvian people would come give their land a massive spring-clean. It would give the other countries an opportunity to see the traditions of organisation and the course of the Latvian Big Cleanup with their own eyes and to get personal experience of organising such an event. Apart from Latvia, this year national cleanups will take place in Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Romania and Portugal and soon national cleanup movements are to emerge in Finland, Italy, India and such exotic place as Hawaii. For more information about the cleanups outside Latvia see the Big Cleanup website at www.talkas.lv.
