They also joined Sunce&#8217;s regular activities, contributing to the community they are slowly getting to know. For example, they participated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/en\/news\/we-answer-questions-about-the-swap-fair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swap Fair<\/a>, the event where <strong>old items are given a new chance<\/strong> every first Tuesday of the month. Sharing is crucial for sustainable economic practices and lifestyles because it significantly reduce negative impacts on the environment. Specifically, our ESC volunteers learned that this practice contributes to the reduction of resource consumption, waste, and carbon dioxide emissions. It also foster a sense of community and solidarity among people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"vijesti_ESS volonteri\" class=\"wp-image-24405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2-480x300.jpg 480w, https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2-500x313.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled-design-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, they participated in a <strong>new sewing workshop, patchwork, and creative activities<\/strong> at Sunce called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/sunce-st.org\/en\/about-sunce\/members\/sizika-new-sustainable-sunce-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u0160IZIKA<\/a>.&#8221; From now on, you can meet our ESC volunteers there every last Thursday of the month.
