Description

The objective of the Project is to link knowledge of climate change mitigation and adaptation with its implementation into environmental education and other science subjects through the project-based teaching and revitalization of the school area into an interior and exterior learning zone with an eco-classroom. The aim of the Project is to incorporate the ideas of the project teaching into the teaching materials and enable students to learn about the local plant and animal species, to take care of them, to monitor the condition of the local environmental components and enable them to process gained information into the students’ scientific projects with their own problem solution. Activities will take place in a created interior and exterior (school garden) learning zone with a learning path and an eco-classroom.
