«The initiative also helps to develop their creativity and even encourages friendly competition through the creation of innovative projects. The goal is to bring these children together at major international events to showcase their work. We hope that Mykolaiv children will also present their bright projects at these events, because Mykolaiv is always a creative city», he added.
The project organisers have also engaged international partners to implement the initiative. In particular, the Environmental Association (IDEA Universal) in Turkey, the Democritus University of the Thrace (DUTH) in Greece, the Ukrainian Association of Business Support Centres (UABSC) in Ukraine, and the Institute of Oceanology of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IO-BAS) in Bulgaria.
