Eco Junior 2016 -January - August 2016

The Asociatia Drumetii Montane (Mountain Hiking Association), in partnership with 580 educational institutions in Romania, organized in 2016 the largest project of tourism, sports and ecology, in which almost 3000 teachers carried out activities, between January and August, under a single name "Eco Junior 2016".

The aim of the "Eco Junior 2016" project was to educate children in an ecological spirit, to acquire an environment-protective attitude and to get involved in eco-recreational activities through play.

The interaction of teachers and representatives of the "Mountain Hiking" Association with students, through outdoor activities or organizing activities, is the most effective action to promote the environment and a healthy lifestyle. Forms of education in nature are a type of activity that can successfully meet objectives such as raising public awareness of the importance of nature conservation, educating children and even adults.

The children involved participated in teams in various activities depending on their age and learned that it is very important to work together, to support each other and to acquire specific skills.
