International Education Program

Organisation

Five groups of 5-7 students (age 11-13 yr.) in Gödöllõ (Hungary) are linked to five student groups in Wageningen (Holland). Both groups practice in the exchange of information in a foreign language with the use of e-mail and carry out a combined investigation. The organisation is done by local environmental education groups in both cities.
The project was carried out in 2002 and 2003 and it will be repeated in 2004.

Part 1: Portrait of group and city

Students collect pictures and map-material of their own city and they make a personal information sheet. Each student group sends this information to its partner-group.

Part 2: Bird investigation

The groups investigate the occurrence of twelve selected birdspecies in their city. Results are transferred to the partner group by Internet.

Part 3: Conclusions

Student groups compare the results from their own survey with the results of the partner-group. For species with a clear difference in occurrence in both towns, information is obtained about their environmental demands. This information can be found in books, on the internet or from bird-experts. When this information is linked to the city-information, conclusions about the cause of the differences can be estimated. These conclusions are exchanged with the partner group in a visual (non-textual) way.

Part 4: Evaluation

Student groups in both cities meet each other and talk about the project with a representative of the local EE-organisation.
