On December 11, an eco-educational event for children titled “Let’s Help Our Feathered Friends” took place in Synevyr. The objective was to instruct schoolchildren on ways to assist birds that remain in their native habitat during cold and hungry periods. Various methods were explored during the event, with a focus on creating bird feeders and placing them in gardens, providing essential nourishment for the feathered inhabitants. Lyubov Grechyn guided the schoolchildren through the process, offering insights into the types of food suitable for birds and ensuring that what they provide is beneficial.
The eco-trainer explained the frequency of visits required to replenish the feeder’s supplies and stressed the importance of not directly feeding the birds. Additionally, the children were taught how to observe birds without causing them distress. The students found the lesson to be both interesting and exciting, expressing anticipation for future encounters with the feathered residents.
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).
