At the INFORM EU Conference Country Mix workshop organised by the European Commission in Malta, the Ministry of Technology and Industry had the opportunity to present and promote the LIFE IP North-HU-Trans – KEHOP cooperation, which started in Markazon on 7 May, and continued in Gyöngyös on 13 May and in Abasar on 14 May under the title Eco-Revolution.
As a good practice, we demonstrated the tools and methods we used to reach out to young people at the events. As growing up environmentally aware starts in childhood, it is worth starting environmental education as early as possible. We paid particular attention to this at the Eco-Revolution event, which provided an excellent platform for achieving our objectives by reaching children and their teachers in several age groups through our common goals in the fields of the environment, sustainable mobility and safe transport, and energy awareness.
The conference participants were impressed by the Eco-Games’ environmentally friendly hands-on activities, wooden games, project-based activities, quizzes and education based on their own ideas for the Culture of Transport Day. In addition to educating and raising awareness about the Highway Code for children, we used a new approach, an interactive question-and-answer method to make participants aware of the most important things to look out for when driving, and we listed the hazards they may encounter when cycling and walking.
