The team made decisions byconsensus. It was divided into smaller teams, depending on the activity, pupils’ interestsand age; they functioned as a whole unit. The pupils were highly motivated and genuinelyenthusiastic about nature conservation; they cooperated with all relevant people.

The younger ones became increasingly interested and independent.PROJECT DESCRIPTIONTOPICWe set ourselves a general aim to address the growing concern over biodiversity lossand nature conservation in this area.Our goal was to set an inspiring example in nature conservation and motivate peopleto take action to protect nature in their communities.MAIN ACTIVITIES▪▪Attending lectures, presentations and a street exhibition, a study tour of a special naturereserve - extending our knowledge.▪▪Organising and hosting lectures and educational workshops; creating and administeringour own bilingual blog; making interesting presentations, posters and bilingualboards, handing out leaflets - sharing the knowledge we gained and motivating people.RS▪▪Making and placing bird feeders and bird houses for migratory and resident birds, payingparticular attention to endangered species – providing a safe environment.▪▪Constant bird-watching; participation in IWC (International Waterbird Census); ourphotographs of extremely rare and protected bird species published on expert websites.▪▪Restoration of important natural habitats – eradication of invasive plant species.▪▪Participation in the rehabilitation of the areas affected by forest fires.46 Schools Taking Action For Europe’s Environment
