Children’s art competition marks World Ozone Day 2025
The Department for Environment held a children's art competition on 12 September in Agargaon, Dhaka, for World Ozone Day 2025.
This year's theme, "From science to global action," was translated into Bengali as "Biggyansommoto kormo, ozone rokkhay bormo," which means actions guided by science, commitment to ozone protection. The theme inspired participants to create artworks on environmental protection and climate change.
The contest attracted nearly 350 children under the age of 16, including those with special educational needs. Organisers divided participants into four groups based on age and skill level.
