Today in Uzhgorod (Ukraine), the working group started working in the office of the Eastern European Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum (IRCEF) within the framework of the NABU (the Nature Biodiversity Conservation Union) project "Church and non-governmental organizations for environmental education of national minorities and hard-to-reach social groups". The meeting is held in hybrid mode. Representatives of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia are participating.
From Georgia, St. Tamar King University of the Patriarchate of Georgia and non-governmental organization - Center for Bioethical Research and Culture are invited to the working group.
The goal of the project is to multiply the methods and products of ecological education of young people, national minorities and hard-to-reach social groups, and ecological training of local community leaders with the help of the church and non-governmental organizations.
The project complies with the ecological parameters of sustainable development: it increases the effectiveness of educational tools, raises environmental competence and affects the behavior and awareness of the local population. At the same time, it is aimed at the social aspects of sustainable development: it improves the condition of vulnerable and hard-to-reach social groups, cooperation, mutual assistance and unification of various public clusters - church, youth, non-governmental organizations, self-government, government - around common ecological problems.
