The project Small Steps for a Sustainable Society – Journey towards environmental awareness aims to encourage stronger implementation of education for environmental protection and sustainable development, development of ecological awareness and responsible behavior towards the environment.
By including gifted students in STEM activities and implementing them with children, cooperation and the ability to convey complex concepts to others will be strengthened and intergenerational education will be encouraged. The educational program for children will encourage the strengthening of environmental awareness. Educational workers, educators and future educators will learn about the ways and importance of communication in working with children. Students involved in the program for volunteer educators will have the possibility of active participation and training for working with children and young people.
