The award's participation includes various activities directed at children, designed to raise awareness about the importance of volunteering in an interactive and engaging manner. One highlight is the volunteer storytelling workshops, where children will read "The Injured Bird," a story inspired by noble values promoted by volunteerism, such as helping others and caring for living beings.
Additionally, there will be a practical workshop for coloring bird feeders, where children will learn to prepare feeders for birds and hang them in parks as part of their contribution to environmental conservation. This activity aims to promote environmental awareness through volunteering and connect children with their natural surroundings.
Awareness and Entertainment Competition for Children:
The forum will also feature a fun and educational competition, where children are encouraged to photograph the bird feeders they have colored and placed in public or their private gardens. This competition aims to inspire children to engage in creative volunteer work and raise their awareness of the importance of the environment and bird conservation as part of the ecosystem.
As part of its efforts to enhance awareness of volunteerism, the award will distribute eco-friendly fabric bags featuring bird illustrations, along with educational materials including the story "Together We Volunteer" and the magazine "The Little Volunteer," which aim to introduce children to the concept of volunteering and encourage their participation in community and environmental activities.
The participation will also include a special instant photography segment for children, allowing them to capture memorable moments during the activities, which will be printed on-site as a lovely keepsake of their experience at the forum.
