This project is about looking at urban development holistically. We need to return to a more natural consciousness and create conditions necessary for the survival of a plot.
Life is Science
acib 4 school
The EcoWind project brings topics such as climate change, the circular economy, and resource conservation directly into the classroom, making them tangible and engaging for children and young people. Workshops, school events, and the involvement of families extend the project’s content into society. The educational materials developed will be used sustainably in everyday school practice and disseminated digitally over the long term.
