About this project

The implementation of the "Changing with climate" project is based on the active partnership and exchange of good practices between 7 schools from Belitsa, Berkovitsa, Burgas, Veselinovo, Bansko, Svishtov and Sofia, 2 NGOs from Sofia, and Friends of the Earth - Norway. The main goal is to inform about the ways climate change impacts our health, our economy and our environment as well as to offer specific measures on how to adapt to those changes. Our collaboration will result in the development of a free information and educational online portal, three approved by the Ministry of Education and Science school curricular, the campaign envisages trainings of teachers, carrying out regional campaigns, involving students in climate change projects through educational modules, interactive games, videos and share good practices. By providing various information meetings, social networks and regional trainings for both teachers and students, the project will aim to actively informing the public about the progress and results of the project and engage them in active participation in activities towards the climate changes and its effect on the biodiversity, forests and water resources as well as the impact of climate change on economic sectors, the urban environment and people’s health.

Bilateral cooperation results

Norges Naturvernforbund (Friends of the Earth Norway) are involved in a wide range of activities related to environmental and nature conservation, but work specifically in the area’s conservation, climate change, energy and transportation. The work methods range from awareness raising, policy development and lobbying to practical projects that make the environmental life style more easier for ordinary citizens. SPARE, an international school project on energy and climate, is one of the main international projects of Naturvernforbundet. It is aimed at pupils aged 12-16 and it has been developed in cooperation with environmental NGOs and teachers from more than 15 countries. Methodological materials and teacher training programs are also available, as well as material for kindergartens. The visit of a group of Bulgarian teachers to Norway and their meetings with their colleagues, as well as activists of civil society organizations, will contribute to better knowledge on and transfer of the Norwegian experience in the field of environmental education and civic initiatives to tackle the climate change consequences.
