Content

In the project the students familiarize themselves with the so-called built environment in small groups. The project is guided both in terms of the content of environmental technology and in terms of oral and written communication (memos, plans, information and reporting). In a small group, the student looks at self-management and time management as one of the team members. During the project, the student encounters several problem-solving situations, in the solution of which the decision-making skills needed in the work community develop. The purpose of the project is to consider the implementation of different dimensions of sustainable development in selected sites and to become more familiar with the ecological dimension. How does the chosen site affect nature, human health and society? How can it be identified and evaluated? What activities does the site have? Do they have any impact on the environment? Why is the site located right there? Has the environment been taken into account in planning the location / activity of the site?
