IarmarEco 2019
IarmarEco, i.e. Fair of Ecological Opportunities and Social Entrepreneurship, is an annual event that brings together the key figures of the field of ecology and social activism in Moldova. The main difference of this fair from others is the combination of the exhibition with sales, networking, interactive presentations and lessons, as well as convergence with nature in an urban context.
EcoVisio launched IarmarEco in 2013 as an opportunity to create ecological and community traditions for a sustainable future of Moldova. Since then, every autumn comes with a new edition, true to the principles that IarmarEco has set from the beginning. You can see the evolution of IarmarEco over the years on www.iarmareco.md.
”"IarmarEco has emerged from the desire to bring local protagonists to the forefront and to provide a forum for all who are doing well in the region"
Maxim Pijevskii, EcoVisio Executive Director
Already in its seventh edition, IarmarEco promises to please us this year with a healthy and "green" fair for people, their bags and soul. Approximately 150 exhibitors are expected at the fair, with a great variety of local, artisanal and ecological products. These will include many civic organizations and initiatives, both from the field of ecology and from other fields of activism.
Particular attention at IarmarEco 2019 will be paid to waste reduction and recycling. As part of the event, a national e-waste collection campaign and an online platform „Fără Deșeuri” will be launched, coordinated by Hai Moldova team with the support of EcoVisio. Those interested in these topics will find informative materials and practical lessons, as well as watch for the first time in Republic of Moldova the movie “The Soviet Garden” by Dragos Turea.
