Description

The project will focus on rainwater harvesting, recycling and reuse. It will involve children, parents, local communities and the general public. The objective of the project is to increas public environmental awareness in adaptation to climate change issues. Through the project implementation, the volume of rainwater that is reused will be achieved and the knowledge among children about climate change adaptation measures will be raised. The curricula focused on management of rainwater and climatic changes will be modified for the school education programme. Educational activities focused on environment will also be organised. Children, students and civil services are expected to benefit from the project implementation.

Summary of project results

We have realized adaptive measurements by implementation of practical measurements on the school grounds. We have also raised awareness and education related the the change of climate. The project has enabled us to disconnect 42% of school grounds from rainwater drainage. During Geography and Biology lessons we focus more on the issue of climate change. We have also created a path which supports learning. A new rain garden has been created on the school grounds. The plants grown at school are watered by rainwater. The expected results have been achieved at the end of the project.
