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 in adaptation to climate change. Through project implementation, the volume rainwater that is reused will be increased and the knowledge of children about climate change adaptation measures will be raised. 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

The need to realize this project arose from the demand to increase the knowledge about ongoing climate change. During the project implementation a unique curriculum was created and published. This curriculum is focused on rain water management and its link to climate change. There were also created new teaching materials, textbooks aimed specifically to work with the target group. The school built a multi-functional center. The school park and access paths were also revitalized. Within the project 5 adaptation measures were implemented, thereby 48% of school area was disconnected from rain sewerage. Also 16 trees were planted. A website of this project was set up with the Internet discussion forum. Two information conferences, four workshops, two interactive exhibitions were held. 1000 pieces of information leaflets and brochures were published.
