Description

Environmental issues have become one of the most important topics in political, social and cultural discourse in recent years. However, in many cases, possible solutions to these problems remain at the abstract level and it remains unclear to the individual. The axis of this project is to raise awareness of environmental issues and to enable people to act, to develop a civic and responsible attitude towards their environment. This responds to the general objectives of the ACF, which identify concerns about raising public awareness of environmental issues.

The aim of the project is to bring environmental problems closer to the person, help to understand how our daily choices can influence the solution of the discussed problems. Promoting less consumption, developing new habits for a more sustainable lifestyle, disseminating do-it-yourself culture and urban gardening.

The target group of the project is families with young children, families expecting a baby, pre-school children and primary school children, as well as pre-school and primary education staff. It is for these target groups that we will model and develop activities that will enable children to be raised and brought up in a sustainable way, to develop awareness and respect for their environment from an early age. In finding the best and most effective way to promote lower consumption and develop new habits for a more sustainable lifestyle, we will first turn to children and the environments where their habits - family, home and education - are formed. If parents, teachers have the knowledge and skills to educate children, how to implement good practices in their daily lives, children will adopt and perceive a more sustainable lifestyle as a natural way of life.
