Education activities are kicking off

After publishing our new education booklet this past autumn, our education initiative is kicking into high gear this spring! Thanks to our motivated and dedicated partners in crime Elza Makaradze, Dachi Shoshitashvili, and Nature Conservation Georgia, we’ve organized engaging activities at over a dozen schools across the Batumi bottleneck region. We’re pulling out all the stops to inspire and empower educational institutions to launch Bird Clubs. With both the workshops and our education booklet, we aim to foster a deeper connection between children and nature.

Over the past weeks, Elza and Dachi organised a workshop attended by 21 teachers from the Kobuleti municipality. In addition, Dachi spent a week visiting 12 schools in the region, with a total of 293 students and 53 teachers attending the activities.

The initiative, funded by the British Bird Charitable Trust (BBCT) and IJsvogelfonds, has been well received! Aside from distributing the education booklet and collaborating with schools, we will expand our activities during the Batumi Birdwatching Festival in 2024, demonstrating the project's success and potential impact on conservation in the Batumi bottleneck and beyond.
