Interfaith Youth Hub
Eco Faith volunteers at the Riverside festival
Eco Faith was a voluntary environmental awareness project aimed at 14-26 year olds who live in Leicestershire. It was run by the Leicestershire Inter-Faith Youth Hub in association with the St. Philips Centre.
Eco Faith was a creative media/arts project using faith as inspiration, including sessions on fashion and photography, festivals and educational trips.
Although the project has now come to a close, the Interfaith Youth Hub retains an interest in environmental projects and education.
