ECDay: the Project "People with nature" marks European Cooperation Day 2014 with information activity
On 12 September cross-border cooperation Project “Promoting nature
education as efficient mean of awareness raising” (People with nature) held an
information session devoted to the European Cooperation Day 2014. This
info-activity became a part of big project event in Pskov, Russia, - Final
Conference of the Project and took place during the opening of the Exhibition
of schoolchildren’s creative works prepared for the international competition
which lasted for over a year.
The participants of the event attended the exhibition arranged in one of
the ancient towers of Pskov Kremlin to observe the best creative works of
schoolchildren from Latvia, Estonia and Russia, who made photos, created posters
and worked out leaflets aiming to attract the attention of their peers and
grown-ups to preservation of nature and ideas of green-living. Colourful photos and leaflets were printed by the organizers and will be offered to the visitors of the exhibition as original post-cards and hand-outs during its work as well as ECDay cards and leaflets.
The project takes part in the European Cooperation Day information
campaign already for the second time, as cooperation between three countries is
very important for the project work. That is why the guests of the exhibition were
informed not only about the outcomes of the international competition but as
well about the added value of cooperation for the young participants of the
project, representatives of educational and nature protection institutions and
inhabitants of bordering regions.
