Since May 2025, the Eco Movement Ohrid, led by the Association for Youth Sport Volej – Ohrid, has organized two major cleaning actions that combined hiking, environmental care, and education. Under the inspiring motto “Се движиме, се грижиме и се едуцираме!” (“We move, we care, and we educate!”), the initiative continues to engage citizens of all ages — from children to the elderly — in activities that connect physical movement with environmental awareness.
One of the highlights was the Eco Mountaineering Action at Sunset, where parents and children, aged from 7 to 77, joined forces to clean mountain trails and green areas. The activity emphasized that change begins with small steps, and that togetherness turns them into meaningful progress. 💚 On the route from OOU St. Kliment Ohridski – Saat Kula – Gorna Porta, volunteers from the school, the Volej association, and Ohrid Komunalec took part in the national Generalka Weekend campaign, collecting waste and distributing eco-promotional materials to raise awareness about environmental responsibility. Their core messages resonated clearly: everything has its place, even garbage, benches are for rest, not waste, and sorting waste is a form of self-respect and care for nature. ♻️
The project’s educational dimension also shone through during a special workshop led by mountaineer, artist, and activist Dr. Ilina Arsova, who shared lessons on perseverance, motivation, and love for nature with students and teachers from OOU St. Kliment Ohridski – Ohrid. 🌱 The initiative will conclude with a final eco-action at the beach in Dajlan, reinforcing the spirit of unity, responsibility, and practical love for Ohrid’s environment.
