Rativtsi Gymnasium Enlightens Students with Eco-Lessons on Owls

In collaboration with the Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum of Eastern Europe, Krystyna Solanska, a teacher at Rativtsi Gymnasium, organized engaging classes for students in grades 1-5, focusing on the fascinating topic of “Biodiversity of owls and crafting owls from fallen leaves.”

During these interactive sessions, the students had the opportunity to dive into the world of owls. They listened to Ms. Solanska’s informative lecture, watched a captivating scientific video, and discovered the diverse owl species that call Ukraine home. The students even had the chance to learn a delightful song with owl-themed movements, and they enthusiastically collected fallen leaves in the schoolyard to use in crafting owl-themed artworks.

During the enlightening session, Krystyna Solanska shared captivating photographs of owls residing in the village, particularly highlighting a little owl, discovered by the children in the churchyard during the summer, and a rare barn owl. The barn owl, an elusive species found only in three districts of Transcarpathia, was a remarkable discovery, found within the walls of the Greek Catholic Church of St. George. The children, inspired by these enchanting owls, endeavored to recreate their images by skillfully gluing fallen leaves onto paper, resulting in vibrant and artistic representations.

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).
