The idea of my project is to restore the relationship between people and the environment, teach how to improve the environment through digital storytelling. It is said that the world is kept on children's heads and enhanced on the heads of intelligent and educated children. Therefore, the project's primary goal is to interest children, involve them in restoring the environment, and lay the foundations that create the concept of regeneration of the lost ecological balance through fairy tales.
The summary of my concept is to convey essential and difficult to understand topics through creativity and creativity. The project's primary audience is children because they have exceptional and unusual views of the world, which allows them to create extraordinary ideas that can reconnect with the environment. The project aims not only to teach but also to involve children in the creation of the project itself and the implementation of their ideas.
The idea is to show and tell fairy tales stories of environmental issues through digital storytelling, creating animations and videos. The information will be the most exciting and easy to understand. In addition, I plan to use ecological materials such as recycled paper, recycled plastic fabrics, etc., to create characters, images and decorations. The idea is also to help participants develop their project ideas and help them implement these ideas and concepts, which will allow children to try themselves as project creators and help improve the environment through human interaction with nature. In addition, the project will motivate other people to environmental life through the involvement of special machines that issue bottles, paper, and other materials for tickets, which children can instead exchange for things made from recycled materials: clothes, dishes, pens, etc. In addition, as a result of the project, I want to create a book collection of environmental works, which will combine the results of activities, works on environmental issues, images, and it will be printed on ecological paper from recycled leaves.

The key objectives of my project idea from the point of view of ecology are to teach children about ecological life and the practical application of environmental concepts. These concepts aim to clean, restore, develop environmental activity, and popularize ecological vision methods to change the usual way of life.
First, digital storytelling and cartoons will feature environmental works. These works will tell about the basic concepts of ecological life, the restoration of humans and nature, show methods of repair and regeneration of ecology, offer possible solutions to problems, and have theoretical parts that will tell, for example, about the types of plastics that can be recycled.
Secondly, ecological materials from secondary raw materials will be used to create decorations and implement the project, making the project entirely environmentally friendly.
Third, the project will involve and educate children to disseminate and present different ways to improve environmental relations. In addition, the project will teach and help children implement the ecological ideas that they have developed.
Fourth, the project will encourage even those not environmentally active, which will have an extremely positive environmental impact. People will receive certain rewards for the collected paper, bottles, and other raw materials that can be recycled and give this "garbage" a second life.
Fifth, as a result of the concept, I want to publish a collection printed on recycled paper, which will collect environmental tales, outcomes, basic ideas, principles, and theoretical information about the types of plastics and types of ecological pollution raw materials, etc.

The key objectives of the idea from the point of view of aesthetics are the harmony of the project. In addition, the project will show the fundamental concepts of sustainable economic development and try to create a creative and scientific space in which participants can discuss and improve their ideas in a particular area that will promote active thinking and creativity. The idea of such an aesthetic zone is a combination of colors and textures that will give a feeling of calm and creative uplift. Scientists have proven that different colors affect people in different ways. For example, yellow - stimulates the senses and accelerates the pulsation of the blood without affecting blood pressure. It has a strong stimulating effect creates a sense of well-being and fun.
The project will also be of high quality because I have experience in this field. I participated in and won the Voice of the Earth competition, which aimed to show my ability to reflect on environmental issues creatively. I also studied at the Zero Waste School, where professionals explained every aspect that will help restore the environment. My classmates and I implemented a project at the level school, which allowed us to clean the area, become one of the most environmentally friendly schools in the city, and install a composting press for waste, which minimizes the space required for garbage. In addition, I was a finalist on the national stage of the Olympics of Genius, where I presented my research on how to explore and show ecology through creative writing. Therefore, I try to put all my experience into this concept to ignite the fire of environmental change of others, as it was with me.

The key goals of my project in terms of inclusion are that its primary audience is children. I want to do a project for this age group because children have this view of the situation, which differs from the conventional ones and even shows the usual - non-standard. In addition, I want to involve sunny children. People give them little attention because they believe that such children can not think properly and create something original. I want them to immerse themselves in the project entirely to involve them in the creation of scenery and participate in the display and writing of fairy tales. I also want sunny children to try out different professions, from director to actor. I believe that this project will develop environmental thinking and reconnect with nature and give strength, inspiration, and enthusiasm to sunny children, which will allow them to overcome specific problems and move forward.
Please highlight how this approach can be exemplary
I always strive to find the optimal balance and the perfect environment so that each project can help the participants and allow them to enjoy the process. I think conducting a pilot phase of the concept is necessary to combine all three aspects. It should be the same as a full-scale project, but on a smaller scale, to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the idea and process the participants' feedback. I also plan to involve professional psychologists because sunny children need a unique approach. Psychologists will help in this and identify through actions and conversation what worries the child. I also want to attract professional lecturers who will teach children the ecology features that children can use in practice. Also, I want to work with companies to process raw materials and operate vending machines to exchange raw materials for tickets that people can exchange for recycled materials, like pens, workbooks, etc. They cooperate or directly process raw materials, allowing project participants to see the structure of reincarnation of garbage.
An innovative aspect of my concept is transferring essential and challenging to understand environmental topics through creativity and creativity, namely digital storytelling and fairy tales. Another aspect is activities aimed at training participants and assistance to participants in the implementation of their plans. Another important aspect is the involvement of sunny children. They will find the strong motivation to move forward and overcome their problems and become creators of non-standard and unique ideas. Another innovative aspect is attracting environmental materials, especially paper from recycled leaves. This production method is expensive but highly ingenious, environmentally friendly, and requires only fallen leaves for its production, which makes it the most environmentally friendly.
I plan to implement the project so that it is long-term and was able to attract many children who will be able to change the relationship with the environment for the better. To begin with, I want to implement it at the local level and broadcast it on television so that those who wish to join but cannot afford to watch what is happening and remotely execute what is planned. After that, I want to expand the boundaries and find like-minded people who could implement the project in other areas and depending on the environmental conditions of those areas. In addition, I want to develop and establish relationships with environmental organizations that will allow even greater use and attraction of resources.
First of all, I would start to implement my idea-concept, which will allow me to understand what I can develop in the future. In addition, I will be able to create a concept for the restoration of Ukraine's ecology after the war, as the ecological situation is currently significantly deteriorating and disturbed.
Another initiative I would launch would be to promote and install vending machines that can be exchanged for tickets, which people can change for various items from recycled materials in public and public places. This initiative will help clean up the ecological state of multiple areas, reconnect man with nature, and will help to return to a harmonious state of life.
