On the day of opening on June 18, 2017, at the Khreshchatyk City shopping mall, teachers and graduates conducted the Eco-Quest educational game program. The main theme of the game was the responsible attitude and energy-efficient utilization of waste that people create in their everyday lives. The eco-quest has gathered around more than 50 children of middle and junior school age. All the participants who have passed the test and faithfully completed the task, received valuable energy-efficient prizes – LED lights and sets for creativity – pencils and drawing albums. The eco-quest was developed on the basis of ecological games that were held in the “Workshop of Sustainable Development” at school №3, together with representatives of the company “Bethen Inzhenieri” within the framework of the pilot project on integrated optimization of the waste recycling and recycling system.
