Responding to the general low level of environmental awareness and the lack of sustainable behaviour patterns children could follow the project developed an innovative, art and experience based environmental education program, and tested it in Nagykanizsa city, in cooperation with one kindergarten and 6 primary schools. Altogether more than 200 pupils and teachers were involved in a chain-like serial of events in the framework of which they participated in different thematic workshops. Following the storyline of a tale written by Imre Kamondy, a contemporary Hungarian writer, 18 indoor workshops focused on the topics of waste, water, energy (fire), air (wind), soil (earth) and time during and by the end of which participating children constructed a joint exhibition. These workshops were complemented by an outdoor excursion, and closed by an “odds and ends” day, where the exhibition was opened with waste-related performances. Despite its small scale this project resulted in a unique educational tool that has widen the toolkit of environmental education and contributed to the environmental awareness of the younger generations in Nagykanizsa.
