The community for science education in Europe

About the project

For the last two decades, South-East Europe (SEE) has been facing severe and challenging outcomes of the climate crisis. Whether devastating floods, extreme hot and dry periods, or winds of unprecedented strength, climate change manifests itself across the region in a clear and alarming manner.

Three science institutions from the SEE region joined forces to address these issues through a project engaging schools, teachers and students. In each country, four primary schools with teams of (at least) two teachers and five students will be able to participate. Each country will select and award the best school team, with the winners from each country presenting their respective projects at the CARNET conference in Croatia in October 2022.

Participating teams should focus on the following:

• mapping the status of basic climate conditions in schoolyards (temperature, humidity, wind, raining, cloudiness)

• collecting, analysing and comparing findings with historic data averages

• thinking, developing and proposing nature-based and creative solutions

• discussing and theoretically testing their applicability and achievements

• presenting the whole process and final achievements by using elements of artistic expression and creativity (video/ photography/ gaming/ dance etc.).
