Methodologically, this study is based on a critical paradigm and a qualitative approach. The study was conducted in May–June 2023. Data collection techniques were observation and in-depth interviews. Whereas, the data analysis technique was interpretive phenomenological analysis. The study results show that: (i) education is the main focus of building environmental awareness; (ii) environmental awareness has been instilled in children from an early age through informal, formal, and non-formal education.
