Educational project – “With Science into the Woods”

Despite the growing trend of pro-environmental activities, most of the projects are aimed at older youth and adults, and they mainly involve changing bad attitudes or habits, so they work ex post, so to speak.

Despite the growing trend of pro-environmental activities, most of the projects are aimed at older youth and adults, and they mainly involve changing bad attitudes or habits, so they work ex post, so to speak. Changing habits is always more difficult than acquiring new ones, so we decided to act ex ante. Hence the idea of the project “Z nauką w las” (meaning: “With Science into the Woods”) aimed at the youngest – kindergarten and elementary school students.

The project consisted of two main phases:

  • a lecture on the role of trees and forests, the effects of greenhouse effects and tree planting,
  • art contest “Drzewo – mój przyjaciel” (meaning “Tree – my friend”).
