Carpathian Multimedia Eco-Information Center: Modern Learning Hub for Children and Youth
The center in Manyava will become the first and only hub in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, combining ecological literature with digital tools, STEM resources, and interactive workshops.
Your support will help expand the library, implement digital tools, and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.
Background and Achievements
Our organization, "Our Home – Manyava," has already successfully implemented the initiative "Eco-Library for Children and Youth."
The library contains 2,600 books and publications, including textbooks, instructional materials, journals, and encyclopedias.
The library’s fund is replenished monthly with new materials on environmental protection, sustainable development, and the biodiversity of the Carpathians.
We collaborate with 43 partners, ensuring continuous access to resources and creating a vibrant space for learning and development.
