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 about the adaptation to climate change issue. Through the project's implementation, the volume of rainwater that becomes reused and the knowledge of children about climate change adaptation measures will be increased. The curricula focused on management of rainwater and climatic changes will be modified for the school education programme. Educational activities focused on environment will also be organised. Children, students and civil services are expected to benefit from the project's implementation.
Summary of project results
We are very satisfied with the implementation and results of the project. During implementation, we managed to save a part of the funds in the procurement phase, which were subsequently approved through an application and used to revitalize the campus. The general public and school visitors highly appreciate the implemented changes and the now more beautiful environment surrounding the school school. As a result of the project, students have benefited from an increased environmental awareness, the ability to obtain new information about climate change and subsequently present it to the public, gained practical experience with climate change adaptation measures, and been involved in the care of the newly built elements (pond with fish, planted trees, shrubs, plants, grass surface) and usability in the educational process. Meanwhile, teachers and other staff at the school are able to obtain new information, knowledge and skills in the field of climate change with subsequent application in teaching, including the permanent incorporation of climate change into the curricula. Finally, parents of students and other relatives, as well as the general public in the city, will be able to benefit from the constructed pond and obtain new information and raising environmental awareness. The parents and general public were involved in the construction of new ecological elements in the campus to improve the microclimate of the Pod Hrádkom locality.
