We have already defined adaptation measures in the grant application and during the implementation of the activities we have tried to provide cooperation and be helpful to the work conducted at the scheduled timeframe. Among the main activities financed by project were carried out: - Construction of rain reservoir with low fountain. - Replacing underground storage. - Replacing aboveground tanks for capturing rainwater. - Building a rain garden. - Creation of a landscaped wall of concrete surfaces. - Withdrawal of 16 pieces of maple trees around the school. - Installing a weather station. - We realized the conferences and seminars for students and the public. - Publicity activities and of the project. With this project we have achieved that a majority of students has a different perspective (specific) to changed climatic conditions and global warming of the Earth, not only with students, but also the public.
