Goals

Problem statement:

Raising environmental awareness is one of the priorities of school community development. Members of the eco club of LEPL, Tsalka Public School #1, are united around these issues and have experience in a variety of initiatives aimed at raising environmental awareness and carrying out effective activities to solve these problems.

We plan to establish a small nursery farm and with the young plants cultivated by us, to arrange a recreational park near schools and other recreational zones.

It is important to engage the community members in all the activities including little ones, to make them interested in ecological problems at an early age. We will use the nursery farm during the educational process as well, which will make the learning process more interesting and fun. As a result the environmental awareness of the entire community will be raised and effective steps will be taken to create a healthy environment in the town.

Proposed Solution:

We will inform the school community and ecological club about the project and select a team to coordinate all the activities. The members of the eco club will travel to Akhaltsikhe municipality, the village of Atskuri, to obtain silver fir-tree seeds and learn how to care for them.

We will also exchange information about club activities. For the first planting, there will be a public event, and we will invite community members, heads of municipality and representatives of educational resource center, together with children. Later the eco club members and schoolchildren will take care of the saplings at nature classes.

After the saplings reach the desired size, they will be re-planted into soil. Locations will be chosen in agreement with the relevant offices of self-government, with a focus on educational institutions and recreational zones. We will cover all the activities of the project on the school Facebook page and local press.

Our project will help to raise environmental awareness of the community. The pupils will be able to achieve objectives at nature classes better and the environment will become nicer and healthier, which will benefit the whole community.

Sustainability:

Sustainability of the project is ensured by its long-term result and permanent future work of the nursery garden created on the basis of the eco club.

After the community will see the benefit of the project, support and help will increase. The items acquired within the scope of the project will be given to the school eco club, who will be most actively involved in all stages of the project implementation and whose members know very well about the importance of environmental projects.

In the future, it is possible to enhance the nursery garden by means of our own income and use our own seeds.

Equal gender opportunity:

Gender balance will be observed in the project.
