The 2nd children’s environmental forum ‘Planet in Blossom’ took place on April 18 in the Rodnichok children’s sports and rehabilitation center of Gazprom Transgaz Saratov. More than 150 children of the company’s employees and students of Saratov municipal schools took part in the event.
Students from the Saratov Lyceum of Humanities showed a play called the ‘Serious things and jokes about environment’. The youngest participants of the forum had a chance to take part in the open-air patriotic game ‘Victory’. The older participants attended lectures by distinguished environmentalists of the Saratov Region. Boys and girls did not hesitate to start a candid dialogue with the lecturers demonstrating the knowledge they had acquired during the previous forum.
During the forum children visited the regional ethnography museum; upon the forum closure they received commemorative certificates and traditionally set off the balloons wishing our planet to blossom.
