Description
In this project we deal with education for environmental protection, in particular the protection of bees and other pollinators. The project is implemented in partnership of two NGOs (the ‘Common Knowledge’ Educational Society and the Foundation for the Development of the University of Gdańsk) and a local government unit (the Pszczółki Municipality). As part of the project we will hold a series of Oxford-style debates on the challenges described in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development. Our goal is to develop a universal model of cooperation between local government, NGOs and other stakeholders for the benefit of environmental protection. Activities in the project are aimed at residents of the Pomerania Province, in particulat at those living in towns below 50,000 inhabitants. The project will involve: secondary school students, farmers, experts, NGOs, rural housewives'' clubs and other local opinion leaders.
