Green Week is an annual event organized by the European Commission and devoted entirely to issues related to environmental protection. This is a unique opportunity for the representatives of public administration, non-governmental organizations, academic environments and the media to exchange experiences and good practices in the field of environmental protection. This year’s edition of Green Week focused on the theme of green cities.
Exceptionally active Eco-managers
The Eco-managers employed within the LIFE IP MAŁOPOLSKA project decided to conduct classes at schools, where they discussed more than only the matters related to air quality, they also discussed their daily work and why they became “specialists in clean air”. More than four thousand young people from all over the Malopolska Region participated in the events organized by Eco-managers.
