Description
The project will focus on rainwater harvesting, recycling and reuse. It will involve children, parents, local communities and the general public. The objective of the project is to increase public environmental awareness on adaptation to climate change issues. Through the project implementation increased volume of reused rainwater will be achieved, as well as increased knowledge of children about climate change adaptation measures. The curricula focused on management of rainwater and climatic changes will be modified for the school education programme. Educational activities focused on environment will be organised. Children, students and civil services are expected to benefit from the project implementation.
Summary of project results
The implementation of the project was necessary for the process of education and awareness of students on adaptation to climate change. Elaborated curriculum focused on management of rainwater and its connection to climate change have been included in the educational process in all classes, 22 classes in schools. Teaching with updated curricula is going to continue in the future. In the practical part of the project, we planted trees, bushes, built a pond, planted a reservoir to capture water, planted vegetation and shaped paths recycled paving We continue to carry out maintenance work. In the project we linked theoretical teaching and professional lectures with practical work carried out in the school campus to capture rainwater. The work has involved not only students but also school staff, parents and members of volunteer organizations. Information was disclosed to the public via the Internet, regional newspapers and publication of a brochure.
