About our project

Project-partners (schools from Greenland, Faroe Islands and Saaremaa) have similar geographical situation (island - with natural and unique environment, also touristic destination), different historical background with similar trends and similar problems for local citizens (how to keep the cultural and environmental heritage- connect this with sustainable development priorities- citizens participation in democratic decisions).

The most important project goal is to make pupils interested to use their knowledge and creativity in order to gain their own consciousness about the contents of the project, to share data which they have gathered with the local community and furthermore with anyone who might be interested in the natural and cultural richness and diversity of the area where they live and come from.

Our project is also connected with sustainable tourism, as a part of sustainable development topics.

Despite similarities in geographical location (island) each partner-school has quit different background and different experiences in democratic involvement to solve problems of sustainable development. The most important project goal is to make pupils interested to use their knowledge and creativity in order to gain their own consciousness about the contents of the project, to share data which they have gathered with the local community and furthermore with anyone who might be interested in the natural and cultural richness and diversity of the area where they live and come from.
