WHO WE ARE
Small actions can
take root and grow.
Seeding Cyprus is a youth-led environmental initiative working to reconnect children and young people with the natural world. Through practical, engaging workshops, we explore the richness of Cyprus's flora, the importance of healthy ecosystems and the everyday actions that help protect them.
Our work is part of the UN Youth Champions for Environment and Peace programme. We believe environmental awareness grows strongest when learning becomes something you can touch, make and care for.

A LITTLE GROWTH GOES A LONG WAY
