The development of educational program for air pollution in North Macedonia will align with UNICEF’s initiative by developing an inclusive, trauma-informed curriculum that integrates air quality education into existing subjects, ensuring accessibility for all children, promoting participatory learning and interdisciplinary approaches, and involving stakeholders and the community. Through experiential learning they will acquire different habits, become closer to nature and the environment, and will form a different sense of responsibility for their preservation.
Proposed activities will be implemented in the Science Learning Network -SLN partner organizations and will be part of the second annual educational programme of the Network. Close to nature and in different environment, the activities will provide an expansion of the focus on children’s education, changing the perception of nature, existing relationships and interactions, existing pressures of the environment with the focus on air quality.
The project will be implemented by the MES within the SLN in the period November 2023 – August 2024, and is coordinated by UNICEF, with provided financial support from SIDA.
