Workshop with the children of the Municipality of Bogovinje

Yesterday, the Local Youth Council near the Municipality of Bogovinje held a workshop in the Bogovinje in the place called “Sports recreation center” within the “Local Initiative” project together with children from the primary schools of our Municipality, where we aimed to learn about recycling, the benefits of the mountain, nature and all the greenery.

Together with the children, we emphasized that we know about recycling and work in that direction, so we created some figures and objects with recycled plastic and paper.

The Local Youth Council works and will continue to contribute with children as well as in the protection of nature with all forms and mechanisms, but first with education of the future, which are CHILDREN.

Thanks to all participants, great things are coming.
