Secondary school pupils from Bar learn about the “Čuvaj da te čuva” campaign

Vuk Vujisić from the NGO “Let’s Green Montenegro” spoke to pupils of the Secondary schools from Bar about the importance of preserving nature and the environment, as well as the “Čuvaj da te čuva” campaign launched by the Delegation of the European Union to Montenegro, in cooperation with the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Northern Development, and the Eco Fund.

“The campaign aims to ensure that Montenegro enters the European Union in the cleanest and healthiest environment possible,” Vujisić said.

During the discussion, pupils identified various environmental challenges within their local communities.

“There is a lack of benches and rubbish bins in school courtyards. Installing them would certainly help keep the surroundings cleaner and tidier,” one of the pupils said.

A new initiative was also announced during the event. “Let’s Green the Schools of Montenegro” will be implemented as part of the “Čuvaj da te čuva” campaign next year.

Vujisić called on secondary school pupils to contribute responsibly and actively protect the environment, and to use the platform cuvaj.me to report environmental offences and criminal acts related to eco-crime, emphasising that young people play a key role in creating a sustainable, environmentally conscious Montenegro.
