Abstract :

For effective education on current environmental problems in Slovenia two educational polygons were established with the help of the Ministry of Education. The mission of the first educational polygon for ecoremediation is to educate the youth about the adaptation to climate change. The focus is on green technologies and natural systems. The polygon for self-learning is intended for teaching practically all generations, not just schoolchildren, how to raise the awareness of their own self-sufficient supply. The emphasis is on protection of soil and organic matter in sustaining life in the soil.

Keywords :

adaptation to climate change, ecoremediation, environmental problems, learning by doing, self-sufficient supply
