From April onwards, the winners will start preparing a joint project under the supervision of leading scientists-biologists of Belarus: Adamovich B.V and Zhukova A.A. The bulk of work on the project preparation will be covered by Russkikh I.A., a teacher of additional education of the Republican Center for Ecology and Local History, a member of the international jury.
Considering the geography of the winners Borisov-Novoyelnia, the winners will have to work on the project both online and at the Children's Scientific Experimental Laboratory for the Study of Biodiversity and Anthropogenic Factors of Aquatic Ecosystems opened in Minsk under financial support from Coca‑Cola HBC Belarus.
The Coca‑Cola HBC Belarus’s employees take active actions in preparing the winner of the contest for the international final held during the World Water Week in Stockholm. Traditionally, the winner of the national contest presents his/her project to the company’s top management and employees. Marina Borovko, Public Affairs and Communications Manager at Coca‑Cola HBC Belarus, expressed her thoughts about the national contest this year: “The training of environmentalists should not be limited only to scientific research, but it should also contain additional lessons on English language skills improvement”. Participants of the national contest had to meet the following requirements: to fill their project application forms correctly and present projects in English. This has become a significant obstacle for many potential participants.
