Description
Timisoara - also known as the City of Flowers - has 37 parks and 120 ha of green spaces, but air pollution is substantial due to the development of road traffic and the activity of economic agents, requiring interventions both from the authorities and from academia and civil society to improve the quality of environmental factors. These actions are important especially as the population is not aware of the importance for health of living in a clean environment.
The project aims to carry out a greening of horticultural species and the elaboration of a Green Catalogue in 2 parks in Timisoara. Thus, together with the students, 1000 plant species will be identified and plaques will be made for them (200 plaques in Braille for the visually impaired), and in each park there will be a large panel with information about the history and attractions of the parks. A study will be carried out on the state of pollution in the 2 parks and a Management Plan will be drawn up to remedy its quality.
To raise awareness among students, a summer school and 20 seminars will be organized on "What is a summer school? Landscaping, Climate Change, Equal Opportunities and Volunteering in 5 high schools in Timiș county.
