On 23 April, a special event took place at the School Complex with Inclusive Classes in Pustków-Osiedle, combining education, a healthy lifestyle and great fun. The ‘Healthy Earth – Healthy You’ knowledge competition demonstrated that caring for the environment can inspire, engage and foster positive attitudes from a very young age.

Teams of pupils from Years 5–7 took part in the competition, tackling tasks that tested their knowledge, observation skills, logical thinking and creativity. Among other things, the participants recognised spices by their scent, identified fruit and vegetables, and carried out an experiment, making observations and describing the reactions that took place.

Each challenge was an opportunity not only to learn, but also to work together and discover that knowledge about a healthy lifestyle can be fascinating. There was no shortage of smiles, surprises and positive emotions, which accompanied the participants throughout the tournament.

The highlight of the event was the official opening of the anti-smog garden, created as part of the ‘Green Future’ project. This green space has not only enhanced the school grounds but has also become a living lesson in ecology. The plants in the garden, known for their air-purifying properties, will remind pupils that caring for the environment begins with practical, everyday actions.

A symbolic and particularly solemn moment was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, carried out jointly by: the school’s Deputy Headteacher, Aleksandra Zołotar; a pupil representative involved in the project, Wiktoria Sroczyńska, and Natalia Malinowska – representatives of the Dębica Municipal Council, and Dorota Gawle – marketing manager and representative of Lerg. This symbolic gesture emphasised that the anti-smog garden is the result of excellent cooperation between the local council, a local company and the younger generation.

The creation of the garden and the organisation of the tournament are the result of collaboration between the entire school community and the partners supporting the initiative. Lerg was delighted to sponsor this project, supporting activities that promote education and raise environmental awareness amongst the younger generation.

This event demonstrated that school is a place where good habits, responsible attitudes and tangible actions for the future are fostered.

For our company, participating in this initiative is more than just sponsorship – it is tangible support for projects that raise awareness of a healthy lifestyle and promote good practices from a very young age. As a partner of the “Green Future” project, we were proud to support the creation of an anti-smog garden, believing that education combined with practical action has the greatest impact.
