EUfolk Digital Catalogue Translations As part of the EUfolk project, we are excited to share an important milestone: the translation of our Digital Catalogue of Legends in all the partners’ languages (Polish, Greek, and Spanish). This catalogue brings together traditional legends from the three participating countries — Poland, Greece, and Spain — highlighting the shared cultural threads that connect communities across Europe. Through the process of translation, these legends become accessible to a wider audience, allowing people from different backgrounds to discover and appreciate the richness of European cultural heritage. Each story reflects local traditions while revealing the common values, beliefs, and imagination that unite European cultures. The translated Digital Catalogue is another step toward making these stories travel across borders, strengthening intercultural understanding and celebrating the diversity that shapes Europe’s collective identity. Stay tuned as we continue sharing the legends and stories that connect us all!

E-Waste in Europe: The Numbers Behind the Crisis We are generating ever more electrical and electronic equipment waste very quickly, and it’s becoming a serious problem! What does the data say? 🚨 Europe generates the most e-waste in the world: 17.6 kg per person. 🚨 Europe has the highest collection and recycling rate (42.8% per person), but the trend is dropping. 🚨 Recycling rate of electrical and electronic waste is still the lowest among all waste streams in Europe. Why should you care? 🔥 Toxic chemicals in e-waste (like mercury & lead) can cause brain damage and harm ecosystems. 🔥 E-waste is growing 5x faster than recycling efforts. So, what can you do to flip this trend? 👉 Keep your phone for one more year and you can create a huge impact. 👉 Repair before replacing. 👉 Choose to buy refurbished.
