22nd September - World Car Free Day! The environmental initiative "URA Grodno!" actively celebrates this date

Traditional inclusive cycling quest "Give the Planet an Hour!" was held in a new format: senior cyclists conquered the locations "SDGs ", "Eco-friendship", "Sport and Health", "My Grodno", "Safe Vector", "Clean Air".

 

For children with disabilities and the smallest participants, first graders, the quest routes were designed in a simpler way.

Participants tried their hand at figured cycling, mastered their knowledge of road sense in training, got acquainted with the sustainable development goals, designed leaflets and posters, organized waste collection at the «Eco-Friendship» location. They spent time for the benefit of themselves and the planet. A total of 140 children and 40 adults took part in the game and succeeded!

Many thanks to the volunteers of the detachment of young traffic inspectors and the School of zealous owners, teachers and parents, as well as participants! Together we can do more!

The quest was held within the framework of the local environmental initiative "URA Grodno!" and the Global Week of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2020 under the #KnowYourGoals #TurnitAround campaign.

The environmental initiative "URA Grodno!" (Sustainable Development - Activity of Grodno) of the project "Civic engagement in environmental monitoring and improving environmental management at the local level", funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Development Program in Belarus in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus  continues, successfully combining with the traditions of partner institutions, and also significant regional, republican and international events.
