FINISHED
"Partnership for geo-education" is a project of collaboration between four non-governmental organizations from four different corners of Europe: Poland, Portugal, Iceland and Croatia. Despite different geographical and cultural contexts we have at least one thing in common: we work towards developing knowledge and awareness about natural values of our regions through education. Our regions are renowned for their geological interest, therefore have become subjects of geo-education.
Our most important goal in this project is to equip the teaching professions (teachers, educators, trainers, guides) of non-formal education in knowledge, experience and methods for conducting interesting field-trips, complexly describing natural phenomena. We want to base this education on local natural values, especially geology, because we believe that pupils (whatever the age) understand natural science best, when it is relevant to their everyday experience.
The project activities include four international trainings (consisting of workshops and field trips) for project participants (teachers, educators, guides) and appointing an international team of experts to establish field-trip geo-education methodology and study materials. The project ends with a two day-by-day multiplier events - conference and a field-trip in Poland and 3 local conferences in Portugal, Iceland and Croatia.
