The Web site will be launched soon after the project start and will be continuously updated to reflect the wealth of information and results. It will be maintained for three years after the end of the project.
The project will organize three international Workshops as follows: • Workshop #1 in Bucharest, on the topic “Educational methods in support of science and science education for Cities as Urban Ecosystems” • Workshop #2 in Prague, on the topic “City Challenges – Open Schooling – The Cities as Urban Ecosystems” • Closing Workshop in Athens.
The document includes all the information needed to facilitate the communication efforts of the PULCHRA project partners.
As part of our project for PULCHRA, our Transition Year class have been monitoring air quality around ACS for 2 years now. The findings show concerning levels of nitrous dioxide both along the main road in front of the school and more worryingly in the drop-off zone or car park area immediately in front of reception. The EPA reports how dangerous air pollution is for our health, but particularly for children most notably for asthma sufferers or anyone with a heart or lung condition.
