Sažetak
The Island of Rab geopark, though still in development, is already being used as a natural laboratory for education of students from the University of Zagreb and the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). The students regularly attend field camps on Rab and take full advantage of its well developed infrastructure. The regular visits of generations of students resulted in the development of their appreciation of the Rab natural heritage and selection of the island for the summer holidays destination. Over the years, groups of foreign students also visited the Island of Rab, as did participants of several science workshops. We hope the geopark will enhance Rab's role in education of students and professionals of various disciplines, primarily in the off-season, and will provide logistical support. The extraordinary geological heritage and its blend with local history, culture and hospitality make the Rab geopark a destination of choice when it comes to selection of a friendly environment with good logistics which is suitable for all year-round excursions, field-trips, or workshops. Not only students benefit from Rab's geodiversity, but also the school-children for whom the ProGEO-Croatia already organizes geoworkshops to teach them the values of the geoheritage and the urgency of its conservation.
