Description

Estimations of CRR Polska indicate that 30% of people conducting business activities are not aware of legal obligations pursuant to acts of environmental law. In the opinion of the above-mentioned it's well-established that environmental law is complex and ambiguous. A recent PARP review indicated that 5%-74% of people conducting business repeatedly violates environmental law regulations. The project’s goal is to implement a pilot edition of the post-graduate studies corresponding to the needs of occupational groups, whose activity requires knowing the environmental law regulations. Increasing of the students’ law awareness will follow through the work of appropriate partners, engaged among others in: •Developing a programme •Teaching materials •Promotional and info activities •Monitoring •Evaluation of taken actions/results •Summarising conference The exchange of experiences and good practice will facilitate in conducting new projects in the future.
