Education

Education is essential in upbringing, seeing as it’s the way everyone learns about the world around them. Climate Change therefore should be a part of education seeing as if people are not aware of the issues at hand and what we can to improve them, progress becomes impossible.

In Burgas, we try to include this topic in education using the following methods:

• Public awareness campaigns: Activities such as “Fishing for Waste,” where local fishermen collect waste during their regular fishing activities. Another is a seabed clean-up operations conducted by divers from the NGO “Friends of the Sea.”

• Community workshops: You can participate in workshops and other community events carried out by organizations such as Greenburg. These also aim to educate people of all ages on current climate issues, while also sharing different methods and approaches on combating climate change.

• School programs: Projects such as Changing with Climate aim to improve formal school education by discussing climate change and what each youngster can do to maintain more sustainable habits mot only in Burgas, but in the whole country!

• Online resources: Online portals like Green City, created by the local municipality, are an online spce where you can learn how to responsibly dispose of all types of waste in Burgas, including links, locations and maps like the ones we’ve provided above.
