From knowledge to eco-property

Summary of the project: 

​The project aims to educate children aged 7–12 on their daily environmental footprint 

and the principles of sustainability. Through dynamic and interactive educational methods, the project intends to raise awareness about importance of healthy environment, especially air, water, soil and forests. Recognizing the crucial window for environmental consciousness  during early  childhood, the project strives to extend and reinforce this awareness to children, nurturing a sense of responsibility towards evolving environmental and societal needs.  

Given the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project underscores its effects on youth, providing an avenue to enhance their social skills, motivation and structured play, empowering them to address individual challenges and actively contribute to environmental conservation.
