Description
The Project aims to achieve the following objectives: to update the school''s environmental education plan with an emphasis on the ongoing climate change, mitigation and adaptation, by applying learning through experience and using modern technologies and to transform the school yard into a teaching garden, where both the pupils and school teachers will participate in its creation and maintenance.
The Project consist of soft and hard activities:
- the S.C.H.O.O.L.''s eco mobilization: creation and update of the school curriculum in order to better educate pupils, students and the public on mitigation and adaptation to climate change,
- the S.C.H.O.O.L.''s eco mobilization: provision of material related to the education provided by the school in order to enhance awareness and an active approach to mitigation and adaptation to climate change,
- Transformation of the school yard into a teaching garden,
- Creation of Ecoeducational area, Garden Observatory,
- Ecomobilization: a campaign raising awareness of climate change, its impacts and possibilities for active action to mitigate these impacts.
Active cooperation with the Bilateral Project Partner - Community School Egersund from Norway is planned, focusing on digital teaching technology.
Summary of project results
The Project aimed to address following challenges in the field of climate change adaptation and mitigation:
- systematic education of students on impact of climate change and measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change with focus on water and soil quality, climatic conditions, water retention and greenery,
- implement hard measures on climate change adaptation being in synergy with soft educational activities to reach rainwater retention, biodiversity, better climatic conditions and share of greenery.
Following Project activities were implemented within the Project:
- environmental education through updated curricula of existing subjects focused mainly on mitigation and adaptation to climate change, water and soil quality, climatic conditions, biodiversity, green infrastructure, etc.,
- new teaching aids, materials and accessories, worksheets, brochures, digital learning platform atc.,
- insect houses, solar space lighting, rain water collection and cooling air by functional small lake, separation of biodegradable waste,
- educational space - Garden observatory, shading atc.,
- expanded green infrastructure (green walls, crops, fruit trees and shrubs, beds with lower irrigation requirements),
- Game for Climate.
Overall, 8 physical climate change responsive measures were carried out in school and school campus, almost 400 students participated the awareness raising campaign and 4 open access education materials were created.
The Project reached 170 of persons selfreporting having more climate friendly behaviour due to implemented Project activities with impact mainly on students and general public as beneficiaries.
