They were mainly primary school teachers, but some were nursery school teachers and secondary school teachers. The focus was on head teachers of primary schools and the staff of pedagogical institutions. A 30 hour environmental education course has been accredited by the Hungarian Ministry of Education. Training material is based on the Uccu book. The new teaching materials take a highly innovative approach to learning with a core book of activities and resources for children, supported by a teacher's book and a family book.
Children can thus work with their families at home on the different activities.
The aim is to get children and families to rethink their attitudes towards the environment and to behave in a way more friendly to the environment. During 2000-2001 the project aims to produce training materials to show teachers how to introduce environmental topics into core curriculum subjects and to run training workshops. Following the implementation of training in the teacher training institutions the whole range of teacher education will be covered. Build a network which makes a link among teachers in all level in the Hungarian education. For further information please contact us .
