The meeting IMPULSOS PARA UN MUNDO MEJOR (impulses for a better world) took place on June 2, 2012 at Villamalea (Albacete), Spain organized by Tierra Esmeralda and Fundación Valores, an Earth Charter Affiliate in Spain. The purpose of this event was to bring the people from the Spanish provinces closer to the Earth Charter and the vision of personal responsibility towards sustainability, as well as to share ideas, values, and theories. The idea is to have concrete projects and actions emerge and to foster individuals with an active and participative attitude in their lives and towards specific events that occur around them.
