Public Lecture: Erik Ahlström – the founder of Plogga or the Plogging movement

Plogging is the combination of jogging with picking up litter.  Plogga is a movement created by Swede Erik Ahlström and followed by people with the same urge to live in a clean world. It started as an organised activity in Sweden, with the intention of both improving personal well-being and the natural surroundings.  Now the movement is making a positive difference globally!

When you Google plogga/plogging, over 2 million hits will appear and groups are launched in hundreds of locations around the world such as: Russia, Argentina, USA, France, Turkey, Netherlands, Germany, Vietnam, Ecuador, Mexico, Costa Rica, UK, Chile, Colombia, Iran, Malta, Korea, India, Hungary, Spain, India and Madrid, Vancouver, London, New York, Perth.  There is a Plogga event held in Sweden almost every day! 

Erik Ahlström, the founder of Plogga, wants to share with the Latvian audience his experience of founding a global movement, and his vision for wanting to encourage everyone to take care of their own personal well-being while at the same time becoming "proud litter pickers”.
Come along, meet him!

Attendance is free and open to the general public.
