Project Description:

The "Transnational Awareness & Revitalization through Green Engagement Together" (TARGET) project is a collaborative environmental initiative between Hungarian and Serbian organizations focused on enhancing climate change awareness and adaptation among young people. This comprehensive project combines educational, technological, and artistic approaches to promote environmental conservation and community engagement. A unique aspect of the project is the 'Walking Trees' initiative, which involves moving large trees to different locations while engaging volunteers and creating public awareness. The project addresses pressing challenges including climate change, environmental degradation, and limited public awareness, particularly in urban areas of Hungary and Serbia. Through the collaboration of educational institutions, non-profit organisations, and local government units, the project aims to build regional capacity for climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention. 

(Expected) Results:

  • Educational Curriculum: A comprehensive curriculum for different age groups focusing on environmental protection, climate change, and the importance of trees.
  • Training Programs: Organized special sessions for teachers and youth workers.
  • Youth Exchange Programs: Cross-border visits among students from Hungary and Serbia.
  • Bi-lingual Storybooks and Translations: Storybooks and curriculums translated into both Hungarian and Serbian.
  • Mobile App: A user-friendly application providing information about various city tree species.
  • Public Art Installations: Artworks created by local artists inspired by the 'Walking Trees' initiative.
