Summary of project results
The project weaves into the stream of actions targeted at stopping the progressing degradation of natural environment. It responds to the lack of specialists equipped with skills to implement good practices in the scope of cultural ecology on the Polish market which was established on the basis of the identified demand of students and external stakeholders. The elaborated and launched specialization will allow for preparation of specialists in the field of cultural ecology in the currently realized teaching cycle and in the subsequent years. The most important achieved target of the project is an increase in the level of awareness and education in the scope of environmental aspects, above all among the recipients of promotional campaign and content published on the project website, students, academic society, individuals and institutions to which the scientific monograph is directed, participants of scientific conference etc). In order to achieve the accepted results of the project all planned tasks have been realized. In addition, thanks to the conference summing up the project several tens of scientific articles were obtained which will be issued in a compact publication (from own resources). All the results will be used post finalization of project funding.
