World Ozone Day 2023 – Exhibition “Save Ozone; Save Earth; Save our life” by students of the “Congress of Manastir” school

On the 19th of September 2023, the representatives of the National Ozone Unit and “ABC TIRANA CLUB” carried out the awareness campaign “Montreal Protocol: Fixing the ozone layer and reducing climate change” devoted to World Ozone Day, September 16, 2023.  The main purpose of this campaign was to attract the attention of the children toward the information about protecting the ozone layer. This activity was organized in cooperation with “Kongresi Manastirit” High School in Yzberish. About 36 students of “Kongresi Manastirit” high school participated in this activity. During the opening speech, the ABA Tirana Club representative unfolded a general overview of the role, goals, and function of the National Ozone Unit and activities devoted to World Ozone Day 2023. In the first part of this event, several awareness activities were held, such as an information session regarding World Ozone Day, 16 September 2023, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, and the importance of ozone layer protection. In the second part, the painting exhibition “Save Ozone; Save Earth; Save our life” was organized with 36 paintings of the students of “Kongresi Manastirit” high school in Yzberish. In the children’s paintings prevailed their love for a healthier life, their desire to protect the ozone layer and their city, and the message for a common effort toward this direction. This exhibition was conducted under the supervision of a devoted teacher of Figurative Art, Mr. Petrit Keraj. Then, an award ceremony took place. All participants were awarded certificates and diplomas. Mr. Johan Muka, Executive Director of “ABC TIRANA CLUB”, emphasized that the activities organized in collaboration with NOU, apart from the information that the students acquired on the Ozone Layer, Vienna Convention, and Montreal Protocol, an inspiring atmosphere was created for the youth, which made them happy by becoming a part of the world-wide effort on the protection of the Ozone layer.
