Environmental education in practice: Discover how children and young people learn about nature through PL-UA projects in our Green Lessons article series.


Installing new equipment or protecting natural areas is important, but lasting change also depends on how people think and act. Building environmental awareness takes time, and it is especially important to start at an early age.

Projects supported by the PL-UA Programme 2021-2027 address challenges such as climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Alongside infrastructure improvements and innovative solutions, they also use a wide range of educational activities to engage children and young people. From quizzes and games to outdoor lessons, environmental campaigns and educational materials, these initiatives show that learning about nature can be interactive, creative and practical.
