Twelve webinars were held as part of the initiative. Human environmental rights, waste management policies, the importance and protection mechanisms of protected areas and biodiversity, mitigation of natural hazards posed by climate change, and the role of environmental education and public relations in environmental protection were among the topics covered in the lectures. A cognitive trip was conducted in the protected area of Lagodekhi as part of the summary week of the training course.

The School of Ecoliders is a curriculum developed by the Eiec that aims to teach environmental issues to the younger generation and increase their awareness in this area. The project was implemented throughout the country. School students from ninth to twelfth grade took part in it. Participants were selected through a competition.
