Together with our Blue Planet - international exchange of experience, cooperation, learning from each other in the field of nature conservation through education and training tools, the main goal of our project is the ways of natural and environmental education in the education / education system of different countries. Our choice of partners was conscious, as institutions were looking for contact with those whose educational / educational tasks are naturally and naturally. The geographical location of the partners was also decisive. A key element of our Hortobágy National Park World Heritage Site, so the pedagogical program and activity system of the eternal green kindergarten operating here is the cultivation of the national park's natural and cultural treasures. The Kindergarten of the Ludas Village is located in the catchment area of the Bükk National Park, with its pedagogical tools to protect other natural values. The nature reserve of the nature conservation area of the partner of Dabas is unique, and its associated garden pedagogy participates in natural and environmental education based on other aspects. The national treasures, nature and environmental guidelines of Romania are presented by the Csatószegi Institution through its unique natural treasures: besides the natural values of the Saint Anna Lake, the Büdös Bath and the Szeklerland, we gain insight into the realization of its natural and environmental protection tasks; provides a wide range of observations and experiences to participants. The Paterno City in Sicily presents an educational approach from another perspective: Preschoolers are institutions where children with special educational needs make use of favorable conditions to organize personal growth experiences and the community in a way. capable of "promoting the development of identity, autonomy, competence, and citizenship". In order to achieve these goals, the focus is on some of the child development goals. Two of the many goals are: enriching and strengthening the knowledge of our environment for positive integration in the social environment; It is worth understanding the simple rules of proper behavior in the field of individual and nature protection - environmental education. Each institution compiled its program plan according to its own profile, highlighting its good practice, the uniqueness of its methods and procedures. The main goal of the project is to strengthen the partnership at European level, to get to know the education system through the educational institutions of the countries, to discover the natural values and to present / learn about the related nature and environmental practices. 19 teachers from 5 institutions participate in the project. In addition to their basic skills, they also have other qualifications. From the point of view of our project, with the knowledge of the environmental educator (Hortobágy) and the sharing of its more versatile knowledge, it helps the successful realization as well as the further utilization. The diversity of partners is also proven by the use of diverse learning organization methods and methods outside their homeland. Among the learning organization methods are field practice, experience and museum pedagogy, pedagogy of gardening, education of disabled people, experimental procedures, green kindergarten criteria system, nature and environmental protection actions. Methodological richness is demonstrated by the presentation of the project method, the differentiation, the different methods of work organization (even, group, individual). Its short-term impact is the short-term training of the participants, the experience of the community and the experience of Europeanity. Its long-term impact is the incorporation of the known methods, methods and ideas into the pedagogical culture. Using well-known methods, innovations, and good practices, it helps children / pupils to learn effectively and experience. It is important for the teacher to recognize and practice the need for nature and environmental protection with children. Its long-term effect is to educate adults with a natural and environmental perspective who will be able to stop the destruction of nature and heal our bleeding globe. Our common goal is to develop education at European level / level by introducing new content, putting experience into practice, and improving the quality of our daily education.
The main goal of the Together for our Blue Planet project was to develop a common European-level nature conservation thinking, to get to know the different education systems. We considered the acquaintance and acquisition of the experiences and good practices of the institutions to be a priority task. In addition to getting to know the common European natural values, we were looking for opportunities that help educators in what methods and procedures they can use to learn more about the natural values and traditions of other EU countries. Important social, educational, local and individual needs, expectations are the pursuit of nature and environmental protection. Responsible thinkers are happy to engage in all available activities in their field and as community work that they can do for a more livable environment. The responsibility of the pedagogical society is very high, as the efficiency of early childhood education increases over the years, and its results can be traced in the behavioral culture. As a lucky installation of dedication, willingness to do and tender, finding partners was also conscious. The association of educational institutions in Italy, Romania and Hungary was successful. Prior to the common goal, the Italian partner withdrew from the program, but those who continued to undertake mobility were actively involved in the joint work, despite the fact that Covid made it difficult to hold the meetings. Mobility participants shared their own good practices so that everyone took an active part in the meetings. Not only was it the task of the host institutions, but it was also the task of the other partners to express their opinions on the given topic, to add their experiences, ideas, advice and, in some cases, warnings. We got to know such European values as the natural treasures and pastoral traditions of the world heritage of the Hortobágy National Park. The flora, fauna, hiking trails, showrooms and educational trails of the Bükk National Park. The unique values of the Dabasi turjános, the forest hiking trail, the flora and fauna of its marshy, swampy areas. Seeing the wonderful mountains, landscapes and natural formations of Transylvania, Romania, it was stated in everyone that we can pass on these values to our descendants by consciously educating the growing generation about nature and the environment. We learned about the following methods: 1. Museum pedagogy, forest school programs, water-related projects, the use of a bird-friendly study trail, the possibilities of incorporating project pedagogy and cooperative learning techniques into activities. In addition to the natural values, the pastoral traditions (collection - exit), the events that have become a tradition (Crane march, Hortobágy evenings), the significance of the Dabas strudel, the country house and the folk culture. Transylvania, Mátra, Bükk values, exhibition halls, study trails, hiking trails. The events of the Crane Festival mobilizing the crowds gave ideas: the Daruporta beautification competition, the Crane Kitchen. From the report of the environmental educator they learned about the criteria system of the Green Kindergarten, the importance of the vegetable - rock garden - flower garden - bird-friendly educational trail, the educational trail within the Dabas kindergarten, the selective waste collection and composting. They visited institutions, exhibition halls, museums, marshes, turjános, field exercises, mountains, caves. They were able to experience the methodology of the tour guide on a motorboat - steppe cart - game park - bear program. In the sessions, the pair - the differentiated - could follow the group and individual employment. The practical application of infocommunication tools was practiced in education. They exchanged their ICT knowledge, jointly learned how to use the padlet, the ability to chat, and edit ppt and worksheets. They became richer with an occupational sketch, a collection of links, literary and musical material, and brochures for exhibition halls. After visiting each other's institutions and participating in the mobilities, they got to know the different education systems, the place of nature and environmental protection, their role in their education and in the plans of their country. Through shared experiences, the sense of European belonging brought the partners closer together. A newspaper article about the Erasmus + application was published in several local newspapers (Ludas, Dabas, Hortobágy, Csíkszentsimon), in Dabas the local television and then the radio reported on the meeting. A summary will be published on the Zöldóvoda website after the project is closed. The institutions reported the events to their parents on their closed facebook page, sharing pictures and information. The institutions were enriched not only professionally, but also with equipment, laying the foundation for further effective educational work with these procurements. Each institution managed according to its own ideas, but we exchanged ideas in connection with purchases and purchases: we offered each other books, tools and board games, which we had a positive experience about.
