Kornati – it is important to know about the sea 3.

The goal of the KORNATI project – IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW 3 is to raise awareness of the value of nature, specifically the Kornati Islands through educational excursions/programs, to carry out educational ecological puppet shows (on the theme of marine biodiversity), and to run a small eco-school called Murter Eco-Patrol, as weekly extracurricular activities for elementary school children.

During the educational trip to the Kornati National Park, children will be shown the importance of nature protection through topics in geology, terrestrial and marine biology, cultural and historical heritage, and demonstration of field research in marine biology. We will involve in the same groups with special needs children and gifted children in the implementation of educational programs, thus creating a new attitude towards diversity and encouraging their mutual support.
