About LENA
More and more people in Europe live in towns. Their knowledge about nature and natural values is generally poor. On the other hand, more and more animal and plant species living in Europe are threatened by human activities. If people are more educated about nature, if they know more about natural values in different parts of Europe, if they have a better possibility to communicate, and if they have personal experience with nature-related activities, then it will be much easier to protect nature throughout Europe. Life in a modern society is fast, people are busy with various activities not related with nature.
The aim of the project is to raise awareness on environmental problems among adults, bring together people who are interested in nature and who wish to raise their knowledge. The aim is also to involve people not conscious about environmental problems. The project will raise awareness of those people, which helps them to live in balance with nature.When educated, people will have a broader view and a higher capability to act in the society, which allows them to live a more worthy life.
Special events are prepared for this reason by the experts of nature working in different European countries. By accumulating experiences gained from partner countries we develop a methodology of how to bring people living in towns and big cities back to nature. This methodology is aimed to support protection and sustainability of nature in Europe to save it for future generations, and to prepare European societies for a more nature-friendly lifestyle.
The following objectives are included in this partnership project: 1) bring together people belonging to different target groups who are interested in nature and natural values, 2) educate people by using long-term experience of experts of nature and the method of outdoor learning, 3) increase the knowledge of people about nature and natural values in Europe, 4) help adult people to improve their lives, 5) develop an educational nature conservation method, 6) experience people with international cooperation, 7) raise awareness about environmental problems and provide expert solutions to solve them by means of education.
We intend to address the following two subjects or problems in one partnership project: 1) „implementing the tasks of nature conservation in Europe through education“ and 2) “providing adult people with the opportunity to improve their lives”. We educate adults by using the knowledge available in different countries, learning from the experts of nature, and providing personal involvement and activity for people. During this process all participants increase their knowledge about nature, gain experience through various forms of communication, and get better trained for educational work and international cooperation.
We bring together partners from different countries, organize topical lectures and field trips for adult learners, exchange our knowledge about nature-related topics, and advertise the results of learning in the form of meetings and presentations. We use the outdoor learning method in town parks, in countryside and in nature reserves. We publish our results and experience with this project in special leaflets and websites.
