For 2 days, on the 16th and 17th June 2025, Future Balloons presented the SEAniors’ Alliance Project, an ERASMUS+ Project at the Universidade Sénior in Figueira da Foz, Portugal. The focus of the gathering was to address critical environmental challenges, with an emphasis on plastic pollution and improving recycling practices.
It connected senior citizens and young adults to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution and to identify and discuss practical strategies for enhancing recycling practices at both the individual and community levels.
The event showcased the synergy achieved by combining the insights and experiences of older generations with the innovative approaches and energy of younger participants. Discussions promoted mutual understanding and emphasised the shared responsibility of all age groups in addressing environmental challenges.
The exchange of ideas highlighted actionable steps for improving recycling systems and reducing waste.
