The project “Young people are the bearers of solutions to environmental problems” is implemented by the Ecological Association “Green Seed” and financed by the Ministry of Tourism and Youth of the Republic of Serbia.
Novi Sad
Novi Sad high school students have shown that they are very interested in ecology and have plenty to say! They are aware that their city, being large and densely populated, faces numerous challenges – from wastewater and a polluted river to litter they see on the streets, shores, and even in the national park Fruška Gora. Although they believe that “it’s not hard to be kind” and throw trash in the bin, they notice that the city lacks serious infrastructure for waste separation and recycling to make all that effort worthwhile. They would love to see more recycling machines for different materials and better waste processing that actually ends up in sanitary landfills. Additionally, they are no strangers to tree planting – after the storm that ravaged their city’s greenery last year, they are ready to roll up their sleeves and become little foresters whenever needed. This team thinks globally and acts locally – and we are sure their city can expect a brighter, greener future!
The students were given one task – to create a creative video in which they will choose one environmental problem in their city that bothers them the most and explain the best way we can solve it! We are eagerly waiting for their creative solutions! The best will join us in a joint working meeting at our co-working center, where they will discuss solutions to environmental problems with our expert team and their peers from other cities. You can follow the competition on our TikTok channel: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeleni.sad?_t=8qe8gTVP0Kc&_r=1.
May the best team win!
