The final event of the “Green School” project took place

Yerevan/Mediamax/. On 26th September, the final event of the “Green School” project implemented by the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) took place.

150 school children and 30 teachers from five schools as well as representatives of UNICEF, VivaCell-MTS Company, the Ministry of Nature Protection, and the National Institute of Education participated in the event.

FPWC started the Green School project in May 2011. Five schools from different regions of Armenia have become Green School members. During more than one year the participants have followed the rules of green living and created the basis of green thinking in their schools.

The final event summarized the results achieved by the participants in a year. The teachers and pupils will receive prizes and certificates. The best school was announced as a Green School and was honored with a green flag which symbolizes the school’s adherence to the green principles.

In Armenia the Green School project is supported by the Swiss Embassy, UNICEF and FPWC’s General Partner VivaCell-MTS Company.
