The aim of the Green Community Centre program is to establish a place for environmentally sustainable community development initiatives in Rîbnița, Transnistria. 

After an on-site visit and survey - in the framework of the "Promoting Moldova's EU Aspirations" project - of a currently operating youth centre, which is documented with photos in the study, the current state of this building was evaluated based on a 3D energetic simulation and its current utility bills paid. Development proposals were made based on the surveying, our goal being the environmentally friendly reconstruction and renovation of the building, increasing its comfort level and expanding its community functions. 

The Green Community Centre project reflects and promotes a number of ideas. These include: full citizenship, community led collective action, participative democracy, empowerment, collaboration and preventative action in a “green way”. It seeks to establish a forum for people of all ages, economic status and cultures to gather in a non threatening environment, break down cultural barriers and come together as a community. Through openly hosting local, social and political activities, community members are given the opportunity to participate in the development of their own community. The community centre would be equipped with specific skills and knowledge to advocate for a set of social principles such as promoting human rights, social inclusion, equality and respect for diversity.
