Description

The project implementation is supposed to contribute to the solution of climate changes in the region at local level. The objective of the project is to increase public environmental awareness about the adaptation to climate change issue. It is expected that the project will create a system of environmental education curricula focused on climate change and rainwater management and that it will publish project information to the general public on the Internet. The project is going to achieve its goals by creating and promoting plans focused on rainwater management. Students from different classes of the school will be involved in the project. Proper teaching methods can ensure that this target group will influence the attitude of their parents and siblings outside the educational institution and the project will thereby achieve a synergic effect.
