The school library serves as an excellent setting for imparting environmental education

At Turye-Remetivskyi General Secondary Education Institution for grades I-III, a special environmental session recently took place within the school library. This enlightening session on environmental protection was led by the dynamic duo of Orysia Krechko, the biology and ecology teacher, and Maryna Chervenyak, the school librarian. Their approach was based on educational materials that stemmed from a fruitful collaboration between the Institute of Ecological and Religious Studies and the German Nature Conservation Union.

In their dedicated efforts to instill environmental consciousness in the young minds of the students, the teachers employed various engaging resources. Among these were the “Towards Zero Waste” lapbooks, captivating posters featuring birds, and the interactive didactic game titled “Learning about Flora and Fauna through Play.” These resources were instrumental in introducing the concept of biodiversity to the students. They explained why each species of flora and fauna holds such significance in nature and how individuals can contribute to the well-being of the planet through simple everyday actions. Through engaging with these lapbooks and games, the children not only learned to lead environmentally friendly lives but also offered their own solutions to safeguard the Earth and all its inhabitants.

The library space played a crucial role in creating a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged children to explore printed literature as an engaging tool for both play and learning. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the school for involving the library in the promotion of environmental education and for fostering environmental awareness among both students and teachers.

The event was held within the framework of cooperation between the Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum of Eastern Europe (IRCEF) headed by Olexander Bokotey) and the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU Bundesverband, NABU International), project coordinators Ivan Tymofeiev (NABU), and Nataliya Kulya (IRCEF).
