TRAINING COURSE- BULGARIAN SECOND MEETING

Most of the analyses were very profound presenting detailed information about the ecological problems in Burgas, factors that cause them and ways of solving them or reducing the negative impact on the environment. Evidences for and against were presented for each of the statements.
A special guest of the meeting was a lecturer in ecology in “Proff.

He gave very good directions to the young people about the content of their analyses (what has to be added, on which topics have to be paid more attention etc.), how to collect the necessary information, always to check the reliability of the sources of information they intend to use and also answered to the questions of the participants.
