Screenings of the Carpathian Basin Film Review, a photo exhibition, as well as children's and educational programs await those interested at the International Nature and Environmental Protection Festival in Gödöllő between September 10 and 12.
This year's special theme of the festival, which will be held for the seventh time, will be "Sensitive Planet - water", which is also the title of a traveling exhibition, the organizers informed MTI.
János Áder, the chief patron of the festival, put it this way in his recommendation of last year's program: We can only reach our goal if we make the will to do good with good intentions stronger than harming nature. If there will be more people who do not turn a blind eye to problems and who see themselves as part of the greater whole.
