This daylong program is based on a sequence of activities that give emphasis both on theoretical and practical aspects as well as on the aspects of the expression and evaluation.\u00a0It is organized in such a way that supports the conceptual development of students on both environmental concepts and issues and at the same time, its design enables a smooth transition from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the unfamiliar and from the easiest to the most difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The animal kingdom<\/em>.<\/strong> <\/span>
\n Students are gathered into a special screening room where they have the opportunity to watch an excellent eco-documentary entitled Akrotiri Peninsula \u2013 An Environmental Tour<\/strong> created by the CY.C.E.R.E.\u00a0\u00a0as an introduction to its programs.<\/span>
\n Through an interactive discussion concepts related with the animals and the fauna are highlighted and are discussed. In addition, the role and the functions of the animals are considered into the framework of the culture and the human societies. The emphasis of the program is focused on the identification and the classification of the animals. The pressures and the threats that these animals receive are also considered and the need for conservation through appropriate environmental management practices as well as the adoption of attitudes and behaviors friendly to the environment are also highlighted.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
