NATOOL – Nature As a pedagogical TOOL 2011-2013

Slutrapportering: Detta projekt är avslutat under sommaren 2013. Det har varit inspirerande med möten mellan naturskolorna, pedagoger, skolledning och förvaltning i Tallinn och Norrtälje. Projektet har skett i samarbete med Naturcentrum, Uppsala universitet Erkenlaboratoriet och Norrtälje kommun.

This is a Comenius Regio – Partnership between Norrtälje and Tallinn.

1. To establish nature- and water days as a part of the curriculum of primary schools in the two partner regions
2. To inspire teachers in outdoor pedagogics, how nature can be used in different subjects
3. Raise interest for ecology, biodiversity and natural sciences
