Objectives

The aim of the project was to expand the methodological toolkit and competences of all our participating employees in the subject of environmental education. Later on they are able to pass on their experiences, the new knowledge they learned during the courses and the visiting of other professional institutions to their colleagues. We managed to fully realize the preliminary expectations of the project: we brought home valuable knowledge, experience, and good practices from our international partners. After the duration of the project and its closure, the adaptation and distribution of the results at the school level began. The new knowledge - integrated into the daily life of our institution - allows us to develop further in the field of environmental education.

Background

The teaching staff of our school is committed to environmentally conscious education. Since 2011, we’ve been the proud owners of the title "Eco School", and in 2017 we were awarded by the title "Eternal Eco School". Since 2012, a Green Group has been working in our school, which organizes programs in the institution for our students and colleagues, and aims to popularize the Eco-conscious approach. In our European Development Plan we set our goal to catch up to the international level on the field of environmental education: we observe the successes and learn the good practices of other European countries’ educational institutions, that are open to environmental education and sustainable development. Furthermore, we planned to expand the knowledge of our colleagues in the subject of environmental education methodology during international teacher training courses.
