Ecological project “Fight Pollution” in Charentsavan

On March 2nd the project “Fight Pollution” was held in Charentsavan. The programme was devoted to ecological problems of the region and the solutions that every participant could use to limit negative impact on the environment. The participants of the seminar were guided by the motto: “Healing the earth, we are healing ourselves''. The course was organized by SYC member Arevik Yezekyan, as a follow-up for MyXperience project she participated in Czech Republic. The participants were presented with tips how to spare natural resources and lessen garbage produced. They were also involved in art sessions, team building games and discussions directed at finding their own solutions to ecological problems. These activities helped the participants understand that environmental problems of their homeland Armenia are also significant issues for the Earth. We strive to protect our home, and the Earth is a home for all of us, isn't it?
