"The formation of an ecological culture is not a one-time campaign, but a systematic work. Clean Games is an excellent example of how to effectively and interestingly motivate the younger generation to take care of the natural heritage of their native land," said Yulia Markelova, a specialist at the Kama Department.
The organizers were the local branch of the All-Russian movement of children and youth "Movement of the First" and the municipal institution "Orion Youth Center". The key objectives of the project were the formation of environmental literacy of the younger generation, fostering a responsible attitude towards the environment and the development of an active civic position, which corresponds to the key objectives of the national project "Environmental well-being".
