CENN ‘Green Holidays’ Start in Bulachauri




On 27 June, summer camps are to begin in CENN’s Bulachauri Green Centre for
senior students from public and private schools all over Georgia (including
Abkhazia). The first wave of school students will include 25 participants.



During the ten-day camps, students will attend lectures in ecology, forestry
and natural resource management, environmental monitoring, integrated waste
management, and responsible mining. Students will also undergo courses in
journalism, writing documentary and fictional pieces, photography, and
hiking safety and planning. Throughout the camps, experts will challenge the
schoolchildren to consider the meaning of peace, tolerance, freedom of
expression, gender, and violence. As well as theoretical courses, camp-goers
will be occupied with practical training courses on forestry topics, such
as, setting up nurseries, grafting, and planting. The agenda also includes
field trips and a two-day hike.



Participants will be supplied with books, brochures, posters, guidebooks,
t-shirts, movies and presentations.



As well as CENN’s working group, and independent experts, representatives of
the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection and the
National Forestry Agency of Georgia, as well as the Ministry of Education
and Culture of Abkhazia will take part in the trainings.



There will be a focus on environmental monitoring with new technologies i.e.
smartphone apps and e-maps. Winners of the Niko Ketskhoveli prize and the
Photo Synthesis 2016 photography competition will attend the first camps.
These competitions have been run by CENN for the past three years, in
partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources
Protection and the Ministry of Education and Science.



Camp participants will undergo preparation to become trainers, and will be
able to perform as CENN’s local representatives and media-reporters.



CENN’s summer camps will continue throughout the summer, until the new
school year begins. More than a hundred schools are to take part. Most
aspects of the camp’s programme will also be presented to participants of
the Anaklia Future Camp.



The summer camps are carried out within the framework of the project
“Sustainable Forest Management, Phase 2”, implemented by CENN with the
financial support of Austrian Development Cooperation.
