After a long lockdown, children locked themselves in houses and apartments. The project aimed to get children and young people back to nature. For school classes and trips, they also took place in the forest. Contact with nature is intended to sensitize young people to nature and build a sense of responsibility for it, as well as to motivate them socially. These activities increase their sense of identity and connection with natural heritage and engage them in discovering and protecting it.
