Second meeting of the Czech team

Hello. We would like to introduce ourselves briefly. We are students of the secondary school in Spálené Poříčí which is a little town in the west of the Czech Republic. We are studying the field PROTECTION OF NATURE AND ENVIRONMENT. We joined this project in order to work on ecological issues of our region. Our main philosophy is the idea that we all have to begin with small steps, small things we can do to protect our environment, because a lot of small steps together make one huge step. That is why we will deal with the situation of environmental protection in our town. We will focus on the issue of composting and recycling of boxes and we will also deal with the situation of transport. Our second meeting took place on 19 April. We planned the next meeting for 2 May. In the next meeting we are going to present information we learned from our local authorities concerning the situation of transport and composting in our town.

TRAINING COURSE- BULGARIAN SECOND MEETING

On April 14, 2011 (Thursday) was organized the second meeting of the project. Each group (WASTE, MOBILITY AND ENERGY) made a presentation of the research they had conducted. 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. Assen Zlatarov” University, Burgas, who made comments after each presentation of youth groups as well as provoking them with questions. 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.
