Information about the project
The purpose of the Eco-School project is to unite and create a community of young environmental activists, promote environmentally friendly lifestyle among young people and raise awareness of resource and energy saving.
In 2018, the pilot of the Eco-School project was successfully implemented in Shostka, where the API manufacturing department of JSC Farmak is located. 9 schools of the city became its participants. Within the project, students in grades 8-11 took an 8-month educational course on global theoretical environmental issues and learned to apply the acquired knowledge in practice. The best projects aimed at solving the environmental problems of a particular school were awarded the mini-grants from JSC “Farmak” for their implementation.
