Project summary:

The project focuses on the environmental education of adolescents, as a commitment to environmental protection begins at an early age when the most important habits and lifestyles are formed.
The project involves young people on both sides of the border actively participating in environmental protection activities in the cross border region. They will be trained in basic environmental aspects and will be familiar with the current environmental conditions in the region in which they live.
Children grow up with the idea that everything can be replaced, that the sources are inexhaustible and it is good to have many things. These ideas are not usually related to nature, but when children are confronted with the cycle of natural creation, they realize the importance of environmental protecting, preserving and restoring.
The implementation of the project will contribute to raising the awareness of the environmental culture and behaviour of the project participants, their families, teachers and students in the respective schools and the local community.

Project status: Ended on 18.02.2021

The project activities have been implemented with a change in the planned schedule and the manner of implementation, caused by the conditions of the measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Guardians of Thrace project focuses on the imagination and enthusiasm of young people on both sides of the border. The heirs of this beautiful and rich history and nature region entered the project activities with desire and excitement. They are the people who will protect the nature of Thrace, inspire their friends and family, and preserve natural resources for future generations after them. Environmental education is a long and complex process, and with the project activities, the goal was achieved to direct young people to realize the needs of Nature and direct them to activities for its conservation. Sustainable use of natural resources was also part of the project activities. The project partners are educational institutions operating in the partner countries. The target group of the project includes students from Bulgaria and Turkey, aged 10 to 15 years. By intertwining theoretical knowledge, in the form of talks, round tables, lectures, and practical parts, such as planting trees, flowers, working with laboratory kits, etc., students received a good foundation for their future development as ambassadors of the ecological idea among their peers.

Project summary:

The objectives of the project are to improve the institutional and scientific capacity for sustainable management and use of natural resources in the cross-border region, to create supportive conditions for acquiring knowledge and achievements in the field of environmental research and to establish mechanisms for interaction, coordination and cooperation for sustainable management of natural resources between key stakeholders in the cross-border region.
The main project activities include: equipping and building infrastructure for research centers for Blue Growth at the University "Prof. Dr. Assen Zlatarov" - Burgas and Thracian University - Edirne, development and implementation of common methodologies and pilot studies of aquatic ecosystems in the regions of Burgas and Edirne, local activities for regional capacity building, including holding international conferences, stakeholder meetings, public events, activities to improve the interaction between the different levels of regional educational ecosystems in support of education and training for Blue Growth.
As a result of the project implementation, Blue Growth Research Centers will be established in the cross-border region and conditions will be created for interaction between scientists, researchers, local institutions and communities to develop common methodologies and models for responsible use of natural resources. The project will build on the existing capacity to study and monitor the ecological status of local ecosystems by providing infrastructure and equipment for scientists and experts on both sides of the border and will contribute to compensating for the lack of data and information on the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems in the target region. . Initiatives related to environmental protection and environmentally responsible behavior of local communities will be developed and implemented.
