Our main aim - to support awareness-raising about environmental and climate-change challenges, has been achieved. Our planned activities gave support to the testing of innovative practices (educational approach based on Virtual Reality software) to prepare children and school teachers to become true factors of change. New educational approach met the needs of school children (12 to 14 years age) to increase their overall acknowledgement about tackling of the Climate change phenomenon and to inspire them to take a real actions in „real life“ (e.g. saving resources, reduce energy use and waste, compensate carbon footprint emissions, increasing use of renewable energy sources, environment friendly transportation, etc.). Teachers have accomplished their skills and competencies about environment protection and together with pupils became true factors of change.Within the project implementation we also thought more widely. The project did not have an impact only on present schools' students, but with trained teachers, and developed VR-based education approach, ensured that also of students in the next generations will have the opportunity to be educated by using the innovative approach based on VR.
First of all, we performed surveys, for rang of introduction of Climate Change in education processin the partner countries. The surveys showed that besides this issue is addressed in formal education, traditional educational methods which are used for teaching of this topic offers mainly basic theoretical acknowledgement, usually with old facts. Using of VR in education process is advanced education approach, which multiple times is overcoming the potential of traditional educational methods, and education systems must accept and accommodate on this fact. Recent decreasing of the prices of necessary Virtual Reality equipment makes this innovative educational approach acceptable to many educational institution on primary as well as on secondary level. With stimulation of teachers to accept the new methodology and with appropriated training programs in increasing of their skills and competences in using VR equipment and VR education software, all necessary pre-requests will be met. The needs we addressed were learning more and increasing knowledge about clime changes among students, increasing capacity of using ICT in regular classes among students and teachers, using inovative pedagogical metod by introducing VR in lecturing.
