The National Environmental Agency carried out a series of diverse
educational activities in the city of Batumi aimed at raising environmental
awareness among school students.
As part of the event, a meeting with students was held at the agency’s
regional office. During the meeting, specialists from the Department of
Environmental Pollution Monitoring provided participants with information about
atmospheric air quality monitoring. In addition, the students delivered their
own presentations on Black Sea-related topics.
Within the framework of the activities, participants were also introduced to
modern technologies, including educational games on environmental topics using
virtual reality headsets.
The students also visited an atmospheric air quality monitoring station,
where they were given a practical overview of how it operates.
Additionally, a demonstration of an innovative drone designed to collect
waste from the water surface was held at a lake in Batumi Central Park. This
technology is successfully used in several European countries and plays an
important role in reducing pollution in seas and lakes.
The activities were implemented within the project “Innovative Joint
Learning to Foster Environmentally Friendly Behavior in Communities Living in
the Black Sea Basin.” The project is co-funded by the European Union under the
“Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme” and aims to raise environmental
awareness, strengthen responsible attitudes toward the environment among
citizens, and reduce pollution in the Black Sea basin.
