About the project
In each school students identify the problems that affect their local natural heritage and how they are being fought/ prevented at present.
Students from other schools research about how their local authorities fight/ prevent the problems identified by other schools and teach them those good practices.
Each school creates a campaign (based on new and creative practices they have learned) to raise awareness of the preservation of natural heritage.
Each school presents their local authorities new solutions for their local problems.
