Integration of Environmental Education in Education System of North Macedonia

Projekt abgeschlossen

The Environmental Education programme relates strongly to all other SDC and SECO water projects in North Macedonia, since it contributes to awareness raising and increased interest for better and healthier environment. It is expected that the school children and their parents will be more sensitive on the environmental issues and will demand from the institutions in charge to address these issues in more effective way.
