It has often been discussed that children and youth need to be connected to nature for restoring the degraded river ecosystems meaningfully and sustainably. However, the ways of connecting them are sometimes designed without their participation. Experience shows that if adult learning methods are used for children and youth, it becomes difficult to create awareness among them. It is therefore important to understand the language of children and youth to ensure their engagement in protecting nature through fun-filled activities.
