The founder of Eco Centre is Tinatin Maghedani, who also is an activist in the civil movement “Gavigudet” since 2019.
In order to maintain the stability of the “Gavigudet” movement, at the initial stage activities within the Eco Centre were fully adapted to the needs of “Gavigudet” and all educational, greening and other activities were still carried out in the name of “Gavigudet”. Along with the reduction of the air pollution problem, Eco Centre will be given the opportunity to continue its educational activities and advocacy not only on air pollution but in general on environmental issues.
