Last summer, the program of events at the Yauza Ecocenter expanded by a third. This became possible thanks to proposals from Muscovites within the framework of the eponymous project on the City of Ideas platform. His goal— development of an innovative environmental education center.
Most of the initiatives are new directions of open lectures and educational and entertainment events. They will help to form a careful attitude towards the environment in children and adults and draw attention to current environmental issues.
From idea to implementation
For example, on June 29, Natalia Shpachuk, a postgraduate student at RANEPA, told users during an online broadcast how nature inspires modern painters. And the idea for the lecture “Nature on the canvases of Russian artists” belongs to Muscovite Nadezhda Tyurina.
Thanks to Yana Andrievskaya, on June 4, a lecture was held for Ecologist Day with the participation of Elena Lesnevskaya, head of the department for supervision of compliance with environmental protection and nature management laws of the Moscow City Prosecutor’s Office. The audience learned how the department identifies, suppresses and prevents environmental violations.
In the Chermyanka Park, on the initiative of Svetlana Astashina, regular classes are held where children are taught to recognize different species of animals and plants listed in the Red Book. And on June 29, a master class called “Drawing Nature” was held there, proposed by another participant in the project, Irina Motkina.
In addition, on June 9, the Garden of the Future Park hosted an eco-festival with master classes and an entertaining and educational program, and on May 16, the Rostokinsky Aqueduct Park gave out seedlings to everyone who wanted them. City residents were able to visit the historical terrain cure, which covers the Rostokino, Bogorodskoye and Sokolniki districts, on June 23 and 30. And on June 20, an eco-walk was held along the Chermyanka River valley in honor of World Flower Day.
The Ecocenter’s immediate plans
In total, experts selected 103 ideas within the project — all of them will be taken into account when drawing up the program of events at the eco-center. Thus, in October, lessons about the world around us will be held for preschoolers and primary school students.
Open lectures on the work of the park’s environmental service specialists are planned for October 19. Visitors will also be told about methods for measuring the ecological footprint and how a person can reduce environmental pollution. Another meeting will be devoted to the importance of preserving rare endemic species of Moscow and the region, and the consequences of their disappearance from the region’s ecosystem.
On November 23, the eco-center will host a program of events called “Ecological Day for Families,” where participants will be offered to make an eco-feeder, take part in a thematic brain ring, and much more.
At the beginning of December, visitors will be told about volunteering in the field of ecology and environmental protection, the legal status of organizations and how to become their member.
