Each year, Bakcsó Természetjáró, Természetvédő, Kulturális és Szabadidősport Egyesület organises a week of activities around Earth Day. The main in-person event offers workshops and talks for participants.
This year was no exception. On Saturday 20 April 2024, the Petőfi Sándor Cultural Centre and Library in Tiszalúc hosted our event.
Following welcomes from the association's president and the mayor, we presented prizes to the winners of the drawing competition announced in March. A record number of entries was received: the jury assessed around 100 works in three categories.
After the awards, visitors could choose from a wide range of activities. Talks and round-table discussions in the smaller hall explored topics including the green economy and greenwashing. Invited guests discussed sustainable households, while Szebenyi Péter and Király Imre led conversations about reusing garden waste.
In the main hall, visitors could paint bins and canvas bags and make grass heads. KÖSZ – Kisvárosi Önkéntes Szemétszedők Egyesülete offered a range of activities too. A particularly interesting one showed participants how to make useful objects from recycled plastic.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. As Attraction Látványszínház puts it: ‘There was a time when our survival depended on nature. Now nature's survival depends on us.’
The event was delivered through ‘Aktív állampolgárság erősítése a tiszalúci fiatalok körében’ (Strengthening Active Citizenship among Young People in Tiszalúc), reference 2022–3–HU01–KA154–YOU–000103109.
