About this project
<p>“The Baltic without barriers” is an educational project that uses innovative teaching methods for natural sciences associated with the marine environment. The goal of the project is to develop and implement modern teaching methods and educational program in the area of the Baltic protection, broadening knowledge and implementing inclusive education. The project focuses on marine sciences, which are highly interdisciplinary and attractive for the youth, also due to lack of elementary knowledge about the marine environment in the core curriculum. The programme will be developed by formal and non-formal education experts from various Polish and Norwegian institutions.The programme, once ready, will be verified by teachers and pupils also with various degrees of disability during workshops and trainings (the total of 34 days of classes, 345 pupils, 167 teachers). This new teaching tool will enable teachers to strengthen the potential of pupils and develop their proenvironmental attitudes.</p>
