The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are renowned for their pristine beaches and stunning landscapes, attracting visitors from around the world. However, there's so much more to this tropical paradise than meets the eye. Between 2-11 November, we as a group of 18 enthusiastic participants, 9 from Turkey and 9 from Norway, embarked on an unforgettable journey through an Erasmus+ project that delved into the environmental and cultural wonders of the BVI. One of the most captivating aspects of the BVI is its array of exquisite beaches, each with its unique charm. Spring Bay, with its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters, provided the perfect backdrop for our sustainability-focused Erasmus+ project. Our mission? To promote a zero-waste mindset while experiencing the island's natural beauty. Oil Nut Bay and Nail Bay, two lesser-known gems, became our outdoor classrooms where we learned about the fragility of coastal ecosystems and the importance of preserving them. It was a humbling experience to witness firsthand the impact of pollution and the urgency of adopting sustainable practices to protect these coastal paradises for future generations. Our commitment to sustainability was not just about witnessing nature's wonders but also about actively working to protect them. Our group engaged in energizers, workshops, and activities designed to educate and inspire. We conducted beach cleanups, recycling initiatives, and even participated in local conservation efforts, ensuring our Erasmus+ experience was not just about learning but also giving back to the community. In the heart of the British Virgin Islands, we discovered a paradise worth protecting. Our Erasmus+ adventure not only opened our eyes to the environmental issues facing the world but also showed us the power of international cooperation. With Spring Bay, Oil Nut Bay, Nail Bay, and Saba Rock as our backdrop, we are now ambassadors for a zero-waste future, carrying the lessons learned from the BVI to inspire change in our own communities.
