Description
The project will focus on rainwater harvesting, recycling and reuse. It will involve children, parents, local communities and general public. The objective of the project is increasing public environmental awareness about the issue of adaptation to climate change. Through the project's implementation, the volume of rainwater that is reused will be increased as will the 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 also be organised. Children, students and civil services are expected to benefit from the project implementation.
Summary of project results
Modification of educational methods and renewal of school plants with utilization of rainwater is necessary to preserve modern trends in environmental education and will contribute in rising awareness about the environment for local communities. To fulfill the goal of this project we have elaborated synopses oriented on rainwater management for Biology, Physics, Chemistry, World of work, Homeland study, and Natural science classes. We set up a sub-site on our school website to raise awareness of our local community. All planned indicators have been fulfilled within realization of the project´s results. In total, 319 pupils, members of the citizens’ association for development and aid of school and local hunters have taken part in the project; three lessons were taught in each selected class; all adaptation measures were realised - in school areal were built: an underground reservoir, a man-made stream with a pond, a rain garden, a green wall and above-ground reservoirs, trees were planted and a sub-site of the project.
