Climate change has become a global problem, which concerns us all. All teachers at
schools have to face the fact that it is their responsibility to educate pupils on the
factors which affect climate change.
The objectives of the Partnership are:
• to encourage pupils to develop a better understanding of climate change,
• to evaluate how their everyday behaviour affects climate change,
• to find out what can be done at schools to combat climate change,
• to gather and evaluate information,
• to practise using modern technologies: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, web design,
• to practise English in communication with foreign partners
The cooperation will result in:
– an electronic Hungarian-Slovenian-Czech-English dictionary including
the terminology of climate change,
– a film about the air pollution of each school’s location,
– a play called ‘Verdict’ written and played by pupils, which is a
humorous trial on things that emit greenhouse gases.
– a booklet that contains the description of all the activities the pupils
take part in, and all the data, mathematical procedures, analysis and
interpretations they are to collect and conduct while making surveys on
climate change.
The dictionary was part of the booklet prepared for the camp in Slovenia.

in communication in a foreign language will develop.
