Towards introduction of Climate Action in the Educational Curriculum of Bulgarian Schools (TICA)

The project is a continuation of the project already implemented by UfU and NTEF to establish climate protection in schools in Bulgarian educational institutions. NTEF is normally responsible for the refurbishment of schools and has expanded its portfolio in cooperation with UfU to include educational measures in the field of energy efficiency. Changing the user behavior of pupils and teachers should contribute to a further reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the new project, a total of twelve trainers from the Bulgarian teacher training sector will be trained and a permanent program will be developed for all teachers in Bulgaria. Teachers in Bulgaria will later be issued with credits that will lead to an upgrade in their professional status. The developed teaching material will be tested with the direct participation of teachers and students from pre-school to grade 7. A total of 150 teachers and 3,000 pupils will take part. As part of the project, there will be numerous study visits and workshops in which the curriculum will be developed. At the end of the project in 2021, there will be a large final conference in Bulgaria.
