Development of educational activities in Brijuni National Park

Public Institution Brijuni National Park recognized the importance of educational activities as an effective tool for raising public awareness about the importance of nature protection. Development of educational activities is a project that includes development of educational programs for elementary schools and kindergartens, educational programs for hotel guests, volunteering programs, expert guidance, development of educational exhibitions and various celebrations of important dates in nature protection. This project has been going on for several years, but since 2013 the structure and number of participants are systematically recorded. The aim of the project is to involve local community, local and regional schools, kindergartens and universities in national park’s activities and to raise awareness about the importance and benefits of protected areas, the richness of natural and cultural values, and bringing the school curriculum closer to students through interaction, play and field learning. Educational programs cover a wide range of topics from biology, ecology, paleontology all the way to archeology and history. Educational activities are very well accepted by teachers, professors, educators, children and other participants, that is also recorded with a percentage of participants returning for the second time. Local and regional schools spend their “school in nature” outside the Istrian County, so this type of education is definitely needed in the region, and beyond.
