    ZOOM. Kids on the Move.

    2015 - 2020

    Interakcia Foundation is a coordinator of the campaign in Belarus.

    Climate Allience is an organizator of the intiative.

    Children learn how to make daily trips to school, kindergarten, home eco-friendly – safe for nature and healthy.

    During the week, boys and girls are encouraged to walk, ride a bicycle or public transport as often as possible. For each such trip to school, to friends, to the library, cinema, cafe or sports section, they are given “green footprint” into their album.

    After that, the children draw their own “green footprints” and write their ideas on them how to save the Earth and stop climate change. They will be gathered and presented at the next UN Climate Summit, so that thousands of people from all over the world know what children can offer to protect nature.

    Encourage eco-friendly behavior among children;
    Develop imagination and abstract thinking skills;
