Description
Environmental education on biodiversity does not reach the elderly and thus does not use their wealth of life experience to achieve the inter-generational interaction that can increase the ecological consciousness of families and children. The objective of the project is to increase awareness of and education in biodiversity and ecosystem services among seniors and their families. We expect that seniors and grandchildren will become conscious nature observers. The project implementation will contribute to achieving the following results: an incentive programme for UTA Leaders; a nationwide press campaign; lectures and interactive events for seniors and children; and information and promotion activities. The project will create biodiversity-friendly attitudes among seniors, and improve their knowledge and activities in this area to understand the impact of biodiversity on life quality. The target group of the project is seniors above the age of 60 and indirectly their families, especially the children and youth.
