On April 29 and May 1, 2025, the Lviv Ukrainian Humanities Gymnasium named after Olena Stepaniv hosted the Green Deal Euro Days – educational events dedicated to the themes of sustainable development, climate neutrality, and environmental responsibility. The event was organized by the team of the project «European Studies for Technical Specialties» of the Lviv Polytechnic National University, within the framework of the EU Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Programme.
A total of 190 students of 5th and 9th grades participated in the event and took part in an interactive introduction to the European Green Deal – a strategy aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050.
The program consisted of two parts:
- Theoretical, where students learned about the key directions of the Green Deal: the transition away from fossil fuels, biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and eco-friendly transport. Through a specially adapted presentation and discussion, the relevance of these topics to everyday life was explored.
- Practical, which included:
- A team game for 5th graders, where students evaluated the environmental impact of everyday objects;
- An eco-quiz, where students competed for the title of the most eco-conscious participants;
- Discussions about the benefits of eco-friendly living and the consequences of environmental pollution.
Winners of the quiz and games received eco-themed prizes, serving as additional motivation for responsible environmental behavior.
The EUSTS team extends sincere thanks to Principal Larysa Vasilyshyn, Vice Principal Larysa Dziubynska, and all the teachers and homeroom instructors for their active support in organizing the event.
Green Deal Euro Days at the Olena Stepaniv Gymnasium were more than just an interactive experience – they were a meaningful step toward shaping a new generation that understands today’s ecological challenges and is ready to take action for a greener future of Europe.
