“GEOPARKS - NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE THAT JOINS EUROPEAN STUDENTS AND TEACHERS” is project carried out by students and teachers from Poland, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Hungary, Cyprus. It is an interdisciplinary project combining Biology, Geology, Geography, Environmental Science, Language, Arts. All partners will be involve in presenting one GEOPARK of their region. In many countries around the world, earth science education is lacking. Many students and adults do not have a formal understanding of the structure of the earth or earth processes and they do have recognition of Earth heritage sites of their country and region. The majority of sites present on the territory of a European Geopark must be part of the geological heritage, but their interest may also be archaeological, ecological, historical or cultural. A European Geopark has an active role in the economic development of its territory through enhancement of a general image linked to the geological heritage and the development of Geotourism. An European Geopark develops experiments with and enhances methods for preserving the geological heritage.

The project will make a major contribution to informal and formal geoeducation by sharing scientific, historical and cultural knowledge, skills and values with students and teachers. In the broadest sense, geoparks are centres for informal education providing students with informative and enjoyable experiences which enhance their appreciation of the landscape and culture. By the project students and teachers be aware of impotance of protection Geoparks becasue of their values.The project will serve for students providing outdoor laboratories for formal, traditional education and research.
These educational activities will enhance the transferable skills of students and thus contribute indirectly to increase the possibility of finding geojob in the future. Professional development project program have been designed to offer both formal and practical opportunities for students to expand
their knowledge and abilities of making observation and measurements in geology using special equipment to do researches of GEOPARKS territory in international groups.The project will answer to challenges of UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARKS.

At present, there are 127 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 35 countries. Students of the project will be involved mainly in work on values offered by GEOPARKS. Geoparks as an innovation for the protection of natural and geological heritage play an important role in the development of geotourism and knowledge exchange. If the project is funded our regions, new geoparks will be promoted and students, staff got knowledge and skills in geology, geography, cultural heritage of geoparks. The project will raise awareness of the importance of the area’s geological heritage in history and society today. Geoparks give local people a sense of pride in their region and strengthen their identification
with the area.
