ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Volunteers will undertake non-formal education activities, recycling workshops, nature themed trips, watching movies and ted-talk, debates, creating messages and videos on the project’s theme. Volunteers will prepare non-formal activities in schools and high schools, prepare outdoor activities and inform participants about current environmental problems and the current climate crisis.
