Within this project, a training workshop for youth started Sunday under the slogan: “increasing environmental awareness and implementing initiatives to protect environment”.

“The workshop is very important for training youth on active participation in protecting environment and consolidating the principle of environmental citizenship as well as encouraging them to join voluntary works,” Nazira Sarkis, Minister of State for Environmental Affairs said during the opening ceremony of the workshop.
