Lake Baikal Foundation announces the continuation of cooperation with \u00abGreat Baikal Trail\u00bb Association in the framework of promoting environmental education in Russia. In 2019, the Foundation will allocate a grant to the Association in the amount of 538 thousand rubles for the development of the project \u00abWith a Backpack On the Trail\u00bb<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project \u00abWith a backpack on the trail\u00bb is\naimed at environmental lessons for children in order to increase knowledge\nabout the nature of the native region and enhance respect for it with using of\nthematic tools and materials which are collected in a backpack. Before the\nlesson, a child receives a backpack containing the necessary materials\nand tools for the lessons, and together with the instructor goes on a trip\nalong the eco trail to the natural park. In a gamified way under\nthe guidance of instructor, within the framework of team and individual\nwork, a child expands and increases knowledge about the world, learn to listen to the sounds of\nnature, experiment with a magnifying glass, a tape measure, a compass, a\ndeterminant of the weather. Children put observation into a workbook, learn to\nnavigate on the map, recognize birds\u2019 traces and see the plants diversity.\nLearning of environment at the young age through direct contact with the world\nallows to form a careful attitude to environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was launched in 2018 with the\nsupport of the Presidential Grants Foundation. The target audience of the\nproject are children from low-income families, as well as children left without\nparental care. These vulnerable groups of children require additional\nattention. In the framework of the project 9 lessons were held for more than\n100 children and teenagers in the Irkutsk region aged 7 to 15 years. As a\nresult of the launch, the project \u00abWith a backpack on the trail\u00bb became the\nwinner of the competition \u00abNational Environmental Award Named after V. I.\nVernadsky\u00bb in the nomination \u00abEnvironmental education for sustainable\ndevelopment\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Lake Baikal Foundation will provide financial support to the\nproject through the funds of private donors and \u00abThe World around You\u00bb\nFoundation. The decision to continue cooperation with \u00abGBT\u00bb Association is\nconsistent with the principles of Lake Baikal Foundation in forming sustainable\npartnerships to create long-term projects that contribute to protect Baikal and\nreflect the principles of sustainable development. It is expected that at the\nend of the project the coverage of children and teenagers of vulnerable groups\nwill reach\nat least 200 people, the project area will also\nexpand, lessons will be held in the Irkutsk region and the Buryat Republic.\nHowever, the main result of the cooperation between the Foundation and the\nAssociation in 2019 will be a well-developed and improved teaching materials of\nthe project, which will further scale up the best\npractices of the project for all young naturalists, both in the Baikal region\nand beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
