Tree planting event and ecological workshops taking place in Wojkowice, in collaboration with Stellantis, on April 23, 2025, involving over 600 trees
On April 23, 2025, a biodiversity workshop was held at Primary School No. 1 in Wojkowice, Poland, marking many children's first hands-on encounter with ecological topics. The workshop was part of a larger green initiative in Wojkowice, a collaboration between the our website, Stellantis, and the authorities of Wojkowice.
The biodiversity workshop aimed to educate children about the importance of biodiversity and the role they can play in protecting it through simple actions. Through these workshops, children became "ecology ambassadors" in their homes, spreading change in their communities.
The green initiative in Wojkowice was not just about transferring knowledge, but also about building awareness and shaping attitudes. The workshops taught young people respect for nature, responsibility for their actions, and demonstrated the impact anyone can have on the environment.
The children at the biodiversity workshop listened attentively, asked questions, and shared their own observations. The workshops in Wojkowice developed empathy, taught cooperation, and encouraged active participation in local community life.
Environmental education for children plays a crucial role in building awareness, shaping positive attitudes, and creating "ecology ambassadors" who actively care for the planet. Introducing environmental concepts early helps children understand the impact of their actions on natural resources and climate, fostering responsibility and sustainable habits that last a lifetime.
The green initiative aimed to demonstrate the power of cooperation between business, local government, and non-governmental organizations. By working together, these entities can make a significant impact on environmental education and inspire future generations to take action.
In sum, environmental education equips children with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that help them adopt eco-friendly lifestyles and inspire others, contributing to a healthier planet now and in the future. The biodiversity workshop in Wojkowice was a step towards achieving this goal, empowering children to become agents of change in their communities and beyond.

The biodiversity workshop, a part of the green initiative, aimed to integrate environmental-science education, encouraging children to learn about climate-change and take straightforward actions towards biodiversity protection. This learning experience was not restricted to the classroom, as children became "ecology ambassadors" by sharing their newfound knowledge and actions with their families and communities, thereby fostering education-and-self-development through environmental-science.
