On 17th November, the Head of the Cooperation Section at the EU Delegation to Armenia Frank Hess attended the ‘Towards cleaner and greener cities’ international conference, where he awarded certificates of grants to selected 12 schools in Yerevan. Thanks to these grants, the schools will establish and run eco-clubs, which will provide non-formal environmental education to their students.
The conference was organised by the municipality of Yerevan in cooperation with local authorities of Warsaw and Tirana within the framework of the EU funded Capital Cities Collaborating on common challenges in Hazardous Waste Management – Yerevan, Warsaw, Tirana. The project aims at strengthening urban governance in hazardous waste management based on peer learning, greater citizens’ participation and mainstreaming international best practices.
