More than 30 children between the 8th and 11th grades from the "Vasil Levski" secondary school participated in the training workshop, together with four teachers of natural sciences, also representing interest clubs in the fields of biology, chemistry and ecology. The event was facilitated by the "Maneco" Foundation.
Climate Fresco is a board game with 42 cards, each depicting a climate change factor. Thanks to it, the participants go through a fascinating process that helps them discover the relationship between the causes and consequences related to climate change and look for possible solutions to get out of the crisis. Maps enable complex climate science to reach thousands of people around the world in an understandable way.
