Examples of good practice

In previous sessions, various examples of implementing ecology in the teaching of individual subjects have been presented. 

Here are a few more examples:

a) Hallway of silence   

                                             

The silent forest was the first EAZA conservation campaign focused primarily on birds, particularly songbirds of Southeast Asia. Songbirds have become the subject of an excessive and strong culturally rooted consumption for trade, singing competitions, pet trade, export traditional medicine and food. The Campaign ran from 2017-2019.

Video presentation of the project Hallway of silence under the motto "I naš glas za ptica spas - And our voice for bird salvation" was conducted by D. Cesarić Elementary School at the invitation of the Zagreb Zoo and the EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria).

The project was, as very successful, presented at the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) educators conference 2019 EAZA EDUCATION CONFERENCE

b) Oasis for kids: a project of urban gardening developed by association O.A.ZA
