I was last week in Slovakia as FEE mentor for Spirala, the FEE organisation in Slovakia. Spirala is an umbrella orgnization for environmental education. The have a good EcoSchools programme and they are starting Young Reporters for the Environment. The energycompany VSE, what means Energie in Eastern Slovakia, is sponsor for the EcoSchools programme. We visited an EcoSchool where children cleaned the border of a river. They took photographes before and after their activities to show the inhabitants the effect of cleaning. They hope that the border of the river will stay clean.
