"The world of nature and its social perception constitute elements of our cultural legacy. Nature ispresent in art and protected by law. At the same time, young people with their poor knowledge oftheir regional and European environment rarely get into contact with it, thus our project- opposing thisphenomenon.Therefore, the general objectives of the project are:· reducing the number of students with the deficit of nature syndrome.· reducing the intensity of deficit of nature syndrome.Specific objectives:· creating conditions for a direct contact with nature.· giving children the possibility of creative play in natural background.· working up student’s interests with nature.· developing a positive emotional contact with nature.· expanding students’ knowledge about nature..giving students the possibility to know nature in a polisesoric way.· eliminating fear from contact with nature.· lowering the level of stress, hyperactivity and the level of developmental shortages.Each year 40 students will be selected from each of the school.
