Summary of the results

The Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic, as a Programme Operator of the “Climate change mitigation and adaptation“ programme, financed from two mechanisms – EEA and NFM had successfully implemented the main goal of the bilateral activity  in close cooperation with  the Donor Programme Partners from the contributing states. The bilateral activity intended for primary and secondary schools of already implemented projects promoters within the Call ACC03. The main goal was to develop and support sustainable bilateral partnerships between Slovak primary and secondary schools and selected schools from Norway in the field of mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Supporting of sustainable bilateral partnerships between Slovak primary and secondary schools and selected schools from Norway in the field of mitigation and adaptation to climate change was achieved within two terms in May 2023. All together 11 schools from Slovakia participated in the initiative, what means 44 students from Slovakia, who visited 2 schools in Norway namely: Stabekk Upper secondary school and Ski High. We believe that the study trips organized from the bilateral fund more than met our expectations. We can state that we managed to fulfill our main goal, i.e. to develop and support sustainable bilateral partnerships between Slovak elementary and secondary schools and selected schools from Norway in the field of mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
