Belarus Solidarity Cycling Expedition 2008
Belarus Solidarity Cycling Expedition 2008

Raising awareness about environment and nature is always difficult. Even more when the country is known as "the last dictatorship of Europe". Although it became independent in 1991, its president still governs the country in an authoritarian and restricted way. Nevertheless, Belarus realizes that opening itself to abroad and to tourism can be very useful.

 

For the second time, the European Centre for Eco Agro Tourism (ECEAT) organizes a "solidarity cycling expedition", which will bring together volunteers from Western Europe and Belarus. Lasting thirty days, but divided into three partly overlapping periods of twelve days, the expedition will cover about 1.500 kilometers of beautiful eco-corridors and typical villages.

Cycling one day out of two, the thirty volunteers will dedicate the rest of their time to meetings, workshops, discussions and debates with the local population. They will each be specialized in a subject, which they will have to work on. ECEAT wishes to lead Belarusian people to achieve private initiatives for sustainable tourism and protection for nature and culture.
