Before It is Too Late

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE PROJECT

In initiating this project, the partner schools from Romania, Turkey, Poland, Croatia and an NGO from Ireland involved in school education on ” Climate Change” and social inclusion, started from: * the significance of getting to know what causes of climate change and its likely impacts on nature and human beings and what precautions can be taken to mitigate climate change; * the awareness of climate change on participants in the project, visible in the participants desire to get involved in the promotion of awareness of climate change and to curb it in national level; * the existence, in their regions, of similar social contexts: students of different cultures and ethnicities, from different backgrounds and education, with disabilities or learning difficulties; * the need to get to know the inevitable consequences of climate change unless necessary precautions are taken; * the need to inform as many people as possible about climate change and raise awareness.

The needs of schools and the NGO representing them were identified through SWOT analysis described in their documents, the real analysis of activity reports and teacher council meetings, which showed the need for intercultural education of students as a strategy to raise awareness of climate change on people.
