c) Eco-classes in Kirovka
Since 2007 Phoenix has been supporting the educational activity of Galina Goy, a teacher
from technical school No. 55 in Kirovsky town. Students of 16-17 years old visit the
Ussury Eco-club, where under the teacher's guidance, elaborate lessons about the nature
of the Primorsky region are created and presented for school and kindergarten children of
the town. Such method enables them to accomplish two goals: organize teenagers' leisure
and foster respect and love for nature. Schoolchildren are more receptive to information
delivered to them by people a little older than themselves. In addition to lessons, students
are involved in practical work: they clean their town, plant trees and feed birds in winter.
