Together with coordinators from Czech Republic, Estonia and Iceland, we presented the management of the project and its topics in the international conference EduChallenge in 2021.
Excerpt
ROUND TABLE: What Good is if we Investigate Brownfield Sites together with Our European Colleagues
Now after almost three years, we can draw the balance, and look back to what we have done. The issue of the European project was brownfield sites, later we used the term functional derelict areas. Areas, grounds, land not in the proper use any more, abandoned areas, dilapidated houses, factories not active any more. On the other hand, the project united partners from very different parts of Europe (Iceland, Sweden, Estonia, Czech Republic and Slovenia), very different local environments, from a million city to a countryside.
We believe, the project has changed the school’s culture of every partner schools. This peaked at the organisation of the school exchange. Every school, according to its capacity and interests, developed a unique way of dealing with the brownfield sites in the local environment and the way of integrating it in the lessons. School staff reacted differently, mostly in a positive way, to the project. One part of the project was developed online due to covid-19 where despite our hopes we couldn’t carry out the pupils’ exchange non-virtual.
