Description
"<< Background >>One of the basic goals and levers of development in the EU today is the ""Green Deal"", turning to green energy sources, but also creating and spreading awareness of the need for a different attitude towards nature and its resources. And while turning to green energy sources can be solved relatively easily by decisions, prohibitions or tax motivations, the issue of developing awareness of the need for a different attitude towards nature and treatment of nature is much more difficult - it implies changes in the paradigms of learning, behavior and thinking.<< Objectives >>The main goal in that changes is to teach those who learn how to change the established paradigms when it comes to the relationship with nature. Learning about nature in nature itself is far more effective than the same learning indoors in the classroom.To ensure competences for teachers and educators to hold lessons in nature using the method of informal learning.Empower - show students that their smartphones can be a tool in nature study and informal learning.Improve students' IT skills in processing data collected through field study during field trips.<< Implementation >>All planned activities have been implemented in the project. In addition, some others were added for which the need but also the possibility was shown, which significantly enriched the results of the project.Introduction to school in nature - outdoor activities are the basis for all other activities that are carried out or can be carried out. Before the trip to nature, teachers fill out a questionnaire about their attitudes towards informal learning in nature. During the trip to nature, the children are then introduced to the tasks and the way to realize them.Using a smartphone to photograph and detect plants - school.Observing nature and noticing details - collecting natural materials for later work - preschoolersElaboration of what was learned in class - creation of a digital herbarium as one of the examples.Making souvenirs from objects found in nature - preschoolersCreating a curriculum for teaching in nature using an informal method<< Results >>The results were outstanding!A website has been created that contains many photos of plants with accompanying captions in four languages.Several collections of souvenirs, greeting cards and other children's handicrafts were produced from objects found in nature, which are presented on the website.The Curriculum for holding informal classes in nature for elementary schools was written and presented on the website.A Curriculum for activities in nature for kindergartens has been written - the curriculum is presented on the website.A manual for creating a digital herbarium has been written.Educational games in nature are explained, as well as the way of making individual works of school and preschool children. Everything is shown on the website.About a hundred teachers and educators from 3 countries acquired competences for conducting informal classes in nature.A short film showing the activity was recorded.Through the dissemination of the project, several schools are still interested or have already started to implement the elements of the project in their environment, which shows that the project activities will continue.Tuhobić PD summer camp program will take place according to the Curriculum of the Green School project."
