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 benefit of this project was the quality of education by linking the theory with the practice, promoting interest among students about global issues. The participation of students in changes of the school campus develops their relationship with the environment and to their "alma mater". It improves the relationship between teacher - parent - student and creates a zone of relax. In the long-term aspect, the realization of the project leads to harmonization of economic benefits permanently sustainable development and culture. Our ambition of the project, which was aimed at increasing awareness and education on adaptation to climate change, was to transform the school into a natural educational centre of the local community. The result of the project was a design of appropriate types of measures to capture rainfalls through climate change adaptation implemented in our campus. A young person can get a lot of ideas and innovative solutions relating to the use of rainwater.They also acquire skills in the practical implementation of adaptation measures directly in the school campus. Our intention within the project was to upgrade the School educational program and implement education on adaptation to climate change as a cross-cutting theme in several school subjects. The aim was to encourage innovative thinking among pupils who as graduates enter the labour market and will promote the implementation of innovative technologies in the production that protect natural resources. . In fact, linking the theory and practice by specific activities, in which students participate, was the way to make school lessons more interesting and attractive.
