School With No Walls – SNOW program set a calendar for its implementation

In the framework of “BioConnect”, a project funded by the European Union, several meetings were held in the project’s target areas, namely Ras El Maten, Hammana, West Bekaa, and the South of Lebanon, with municipalities, School directors, and Key stakeholders to present School With No Walls – SNOW program and set a calendar for its implementation.

SNOW is the key to raise awareness and mainstream environmental and ecological concepts toward 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 feedback from these planning meetings and is looking forward to the upcoming educational sessions and events!
BioConnect is a project funded by the European Union. It aims to ensure effective management and governance in sites of ecological importance and expending biodiversity protection in southern Lebanon.
SNOW is an environmental and educational program developed and implemented by SPNL and Great Escape targeting children between 7 and 12 years old to raise awareness and contribute to building environmentally responsible generations using interactive and fun-based techniques.
