Skaistė Dreskinienė, a PhD student at the Institute of Agriculture, LAMMC received funding from the European Inventor Network.
The grant will be used for the educational initiative “Workshops on Microplastics and Sustainability in Agriculture”, aimed for raising students’ awareness of environmental pollution, the impact of microplastics on agriculture and human health, and promoting responsible consumption, creativity, and sustainable lifestyle ideas.
The activity will take place at St. Benedict’s Gymnasium in Alytus and will be intended for students in grades 7–12 (12–18 years old). Five academic-hour-long workshops are planned, involving approximately 150 students and their teachers. During the sessions, students will learn about the work of scientists, research the impact of microplastics on the environment and climate change and create educational posters that will be displayed at school as part of the awareness campaign.
The activity is planned to take place between April and June 2026.
