According to the World Health Organisation, environmental factors could be responsible for up to 20 % of all deaths in Europe. Europe already has high standards for air quality, but in many cities, pollution remains above acceptable levels. Pollution is a huge threat against which there are no forms of successful adaptation. The conservation of the environment and its diversity is a moral duty of man, conscious of being part of a broader ecological relationship in which he is inserted in the same way as the other endangered species and , for this ,needs protection. Another very important problem linked to unemployment, social exclusion, and poverty is early school leaving. There are many reasons why some young people give up education and training prematurely:personal or family problems, learning difficulties, or a fragile socio-economic situation. Some of the most common reasons that are the same for all school partners are addressed to a range of triggers and combines education and social policy, youth work and aspects such as demotivation and dissatisfaction . Based on these facts and having in mind the present situation concerning the environment in our regions and the number of drop-outs at our schools we decided to prepare this project. The countries involved in this project proposal are: Bulgaria (coordinator), Italy, Croatia, FYROM,France and UK.The age range of students is 14-19.The aim of our project:”The splendor of nature” is to make more investments in knowledge and encourage innovation and the development of more sustainable solutions to solve different environmental problems. We would like to reduce threats from pollution common for the European region and to improve the standards of living adequate for the health and well-being of the population by providing opportunities for environmental democracy via the use of ICT and environmental protection activities, and raising awareness about environmental problems in order to result in positive development in our regions. The project activities focus on environmental education on the one hand and on the development and promotion of national reserves and natural heritage at the other hand. We would like to foster groups being at risk and motivate them to stay at school and show them that through studying they will be prepared to build their own future. Our plan is to offer students research project within areas that examine man's impact on the environment. In order to reach the objectives of the project we have planned 2 Joint Staff Training events and 4 Short-term exchanbges of groups of pupils.General objectives:-To create an environmental awareness in all students -To raise the awareness about environmental problems -To analyze and classify components of natural ecosystems in parks and natural reserves-To raise the awareness on the high natural values of the areas and the chances involved on local, national and international level.-To reduce drop-outs by increasing the motivation and satisfaction of students Specific objectives:-To educate people to respect environment so that people can avoid speculation, pollution, desertification and deforestation. -To improve and to develop the use of the English language and ICT -To develop research skills for observing, recording, comparing, classifying ecosystems of our region-To increase public awareness about the factors threatening the life in nature-To promote transnational cooperation and exchange.The tangible results expected by the project are: botanical manual; brochure of theoretical and experimental analysis of the; a virtual phrase book, an environmental protection e-magazine; a catalog with National parks of our countries; a booklet with extinct plants of each partner region; a CD with presentations;an interactive map; project website;Facebook page;dissemination materials;eTwinning(Twin Space) platform; PowerPoint presentations.The intangible results expected by the project are:Students will acquire new knowledge and an increasing interest in knowing more about plants and animals of different ecosystems, ecological education and applying all this knowledge in the field.The students will acquire the tools to benefit of the possible mobility opportunities for studying and working inside the European space and surfing through the eTwinning and Facebook.Teachers will gain by strengthening communication between the students and themselves, exchanging ideas in the field of environmental protection and the development of inter cultural dialogue with colleagues and students from partnering schools All schools will benefit by creating better relations between teachers, students and the community, making school more dynamic and stimulating for all.The importance of natural parks will be raised to the public.All schools will benefit by creating better relations between teachers,students and the community, making school more dynamic and stimulating for all.
