Abstract
"In the 1990s, Belarus became a champion of teaching ecological awareness courses in the university framework: compulsory courses were introduced in the curriculum, and, in 1992, a unique ecological research and educational institution named after Soviet human rights activist and dissident Andrey Sakharov was established. Involvement of the Belarusian Orthodox Church and its units in raising eco-awareness is also significant, e.g. vast foreign church-related humanitarian aid and ecumenical cooperation connected to ecological topics, a unique department on ecology of the Hrodna diocese139 and visible presence of events with strong ecological content in the framework of activities of the Youth Union of the Belarusian Orthodox Church and Synodal Department for Youth Affairs of the Belarusian Orthodox Church. Paper delivered at the international consultation on "Resources and Best Practice Models for Ecotheology, Climate Justice and Food Security", held at the Academy of Volos, Demetriades Diocese of Church of Greece, 10-13 March, 2016
