100 Students from Saint Jean school hike to Hima Kherbet Kanafar

In the framework of “BioConnect”, a project funded by the European Union, SPNL organized on the 23rd of May an event for 100 students. Participants enjoyed a hike from Saint Jean school to Hima kherbet kanafar with pitstops to enrich the young participants with information about nature, climate change, plants, insects, geology, and climate change impact. In addition, nature behavior was an overall topic discussed before the hike. Afterwards, students built a bird nest to get involved more into the importance of birds and the role human beings have in the ecosystem and the impact of climate change on bird migration

SNOW is the key to raise awareness, and mainstream environmental and ecological concepts towards enhancing the connection between Nature and the young generations. Adopting this interactive environmental education program will contribute to inducing behavior change as well as promoting the engagement of children in nature conservation activities on the national level. This is helping in achieving the objectives linked to local communities’ empowerment under the BioConnect project.

SPNL is very pleased with the positive feedbacks from the students and teachers that have enjoyed connecting with their surrounding nature.
