Oksana Kremin and Olha Velychkanych, experts of the IRCEF and active volunteers of the Ecological Commission of the Mukachevo Greek Catholic Eparchy, led an engaging environmental quest titled “Journey to the Realm of Biodiversity” for children at the Holy Trinity parish camp. Throughout this educational competition, participants demonstrated their knowledge by completing various tasks at locations such as “Environmentally Responsible Behavior,” “Forest Biodiversity,” “What Grows There?”, “Winged Friends,” “Animal World Records,” “Guess the Plant by Smell,” and “Decoder.”

On July 2, researchers of the Nature Branch of the Transcarpathian Regional Museum of Local Lore named after T. Lehotsky, organized a workshop in collaboration with the Institute of Ecological and Religious Studies and the Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum of Eastern Europe. The workshop was intended for internally displaced children and children from extended families to educate them about the impact of plastic on biodiversity. This event, held on the eve of World Plastic Free Day (celebrated on July 3), aimed to inspire children, their parents, and friends to forgo plastic bags for at least one day and opt for canvas bags instead.
