Adoptă un copac programme offers educational sessions on environmental issues and sustainable development, for the communities where afforestation actions are carried out, with the aim of increasing the level of information and awareness. The people from these localities are the direct beneficiaries of the forest curtains. They are the ones who grow together with the trees and who need to understand their role and ensure their integrity, so they need as much information as possible in order to do so knowingly.

 

The educational sessions take place in the form of presentations on how to reduce, reuse and recycle in a proper way, as well as on the importance of forests for a healthy life; competitions and games on environmental themes and clean-up volunteering actions.

These are directed mostly towards the pupils from the schools in the localities benefiting from the afforestation actions.
