Romanian National Agency for Environmental Protection (ANPM), in collaboration with Peace Corps and USAID Romania, announced the official launch of the project “EcoWeb”, to promote activities in environmental education for Romanian schools and strengthen the collaboration between government agencies, schools and NGOs on the national territory.
«A clean and healthy environment depends on the behaviour and consciousness of each one of us. EcoWeb project will give young people lessons on environmental protection and allow the growth of a new generation made of responsible citizens» said ANPM president, Mihail Facă.
EcoWeb also aims at creating a national database on environmental education, which will highlight the involvement of all subjects. All contributions sent before April 17th regarding draft classes for schools will be published as materials on the website. Those who will send more than five projects will be included as a "Project Partners". EcoWeb will be visible to the public by May 2009.
«Putting together the resources and experiences from different stakeholders will make available to all concerned the whole materials about environmental education, emphasizing the contribution of schools, NGOs and all persons involved», said Ken Goodson, director of Peace Corps Romania.
The participation and the creation of a national network are the basis of the project, which aims to strengthen existing relationships.
