Olivia Park in Gdańsk has probably never been as vibrant as on June 3, 2023 during the Eco Picnic, which attracted crowds of families from the Oliwa district and the city of Gdańsk, tempted by the prospect of unforgettable fun, learning and relaxation.

The EcoPicnic was addressed to a diverse group of recipients, including residents of Olivia Centre, employees of companies based in this business centre and their families. The event also attracted students, parents and the teaching staff of Primary School No. 35 with Sports Departments in Gdańsk Oliwa, as well as residents and guests visiting Oliwa.

The main objective of the event was to promote the principles of sustainable development, raise the level of environmental awareness and shape ecological attitudes in society. As part of the EcoPicnic, knowledge in the field of climate, environmental protection and sustainable development was disseminated, with particular emphasis on the role of new technologies in the service of the environment. A significant contribution to this part of the programme was made by the Foundation for the Development of the University of Gdańsk.

The event also served to promote social activation and build a sense of community among the inhabitants of Gdańsk, the employees of Olivia Centre and the participants of the picnic. The organized activities were aimed at emphasizing the common goals of taking care of the space in which we live, work and develop.

To sum up, the EcoPicnic was an event that allowed for an effective combination of environmental education and social integration. The experience gained and the positive reactions of the participants are an encouragement for further actions in this direction.
