Development of ecological sensitivity among children and adults
Participants:100 children, parents, nursery school
teachers, trainee teachers were involved in the project.
THE PROJECT THESIS:THE PROJECT THESIS: „Ecological sensitivity is mostly, not
to say above all, a part of social awareness.”
“(…) all environmentalists’ visions (and not only theirs) shall remain childish fantasies unless they are followed by the changes in the awareness of society . Since being ecological not only means sensing with all other living organisms (…) but also day-to-day behaviour impossible without social awareness.”

The cans are stored in a special container and then collected by a company specializing in aluminium recycling. The children count the cans they bring to school – they keep the record of the number of brought cans.
The coordinator of the projects collects the money for the cans and uses them to buy prizes for persistence and pro-ecological activities but also to buy books on pro-ecological issues.
Last year winner – a girl named Hania brought over 2000 cans.
