Arranging for the Planting of 100 Trees, 500 Flower Bulbs, and Hosting an Environmental Workshop in Biała Podlaska on March 17, 2025.
Let's get real about protecting the environment — the Biała Podlaska way!
On 17 March, we rolled up our sleeves and got our hands dirty in Biała Podlaska. The day was all about eco-friendly action, as we managed to plant 100 ash tree seedlings, 500 flower bulbs, and distribute seeds for future sowing. But hold on; the fun didn't stop there.
The day kicked off with a meet-up with students from Primary School No. 2 in Biała Podlaska. We dived right into an environmental workshop, affectionately named 'Facts and Fables about Biodiversity.' This workshop was our chance to discuss the importance of nature conservation, and how each one of us can make a difference.
During the workshop, we shared the answers to the burning questions regarding biodiversity: What is it, and why is it in peril? Are bees the only pollinators, and how can we lend a helping hand to our local wildlife? The fun didn't stop there; after absorbing knowledge, the students participated in an eco-quiz, testing their newfound wisdom and triggering their curiosity. It was heartening to see that these young minds are well aware of the environmental challenges and are eager to contribute to nature conservation.
On a bigger picture, universities in Biała Podlaska play a crucial role in promoting environmental education. The Department of Physical Education and Health at the local university — a part of Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw — emphasizes holistic health sciences, which likely integrates environmental and biodiversity themes into its programs or research activities[1].
Through integrated environmental and health education, outdoor physical activities, and interdisciplinary research projects, these academic departments aim to raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem health[2]. Additionally, the Polish educational framework supports environmental awareness, with universities using modern laboratories and interdisciplinary approaches to study natural and social aspects of quality and environment, indirectly benefiting students' understanding of biodiversity conservation through scientifically supported curricula and community engagement.
In essence, even though specific programs focused solely on biodiversity conservation in schools aren't explicitly detailed in available sources, Biała Podlaska's educational institutions promote environmental education through integrated health and physical education programs, research activities, and interdisciplinary approaches that foster environmental awareness, including an understanding of biodiversity among students.
Science plays a significant role in Biała Podlaska's approach to environmental education, as the Department of Physical Education and Health at the local university emphasizes holistic health sciences, which likely integrates environmental and biodiversity themes into its programs or research activities. Moreover, learning about climate-change and environmental-science is an integral part of the education-and-self-development process in this region, with students from primary schools actively participating in workshops that foster an understanding of biodiversity and its conservation.
