On February 1st, the Center for Civic Engagement, as part of the activities of the Fatima Club, held a Workshop: “Eco-activism: how to create an environmental project and implement it.” The goal of the workshop was to provide 69ɫ students and faculty with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and implement effective environmental projects. The workshop, delivered by a team of experienced speakers, provided valuable information, practical exercises and real-life examples that inspired and empowered participants.

The workshop began with a warm welcome from the organizers, followed by an overview of the agenda:

Participants learned how to align project goals with organizational objectives and develop clear and compelling proposals.

A case study on the project "Basketball for All" was discussed, focusing on its goals, objectives, results, participant feedback, and project leadership.
