How rivers brought together schoolchildren from Belarus and Ukraine

Young “water inspectors” showed up in Belarusian and Ukranian territory of Palessie region. There are schoolchildren aged 11-16 years from villages and settlements which are situated in bordering Pinsk (Belarus) and Lubeshiv (Ukraine) districts.

Thanks to EU co-funded project “Cross-border Water Inspectors” 10 public ecological posts in Belarusian and 9 in Ukranian schools appeared. They bring together almost 200 pupils and teachers.
