HOB'S ADVENTURE PRESENTED AT THE ECO-SCHOOLS' NATIONAL OPERATORS MEETING

Our project, Hob’s Adventure, was presented at the Eco-School’s National Operators Meeting (NOM) in the Netherlands. The meeting took place over three days, November 12th until November 14th, 2019. There were over 90 participants from 57 countries from all over the world.

The 2019 NOM was themed: Learning from the Past, Building for the Future – Building a movement of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through Eco-Schools. Our project was a natural fit, so Gregor Cerar (NO Slovenia) and Daniels Truksans (NO Latvia) mentioned the project and outlined the main objectives and activities at several occasions during the meeting: the project was first presented at the workshop “Moving forward” and at the plenary session. On the second day, it was explained in depth at the Regional meeting for Southern and Eastern Europe and also mentioned during the conclusions of the day workshop. On the third day, the organizers held an “Inspirational sessions market” where the project was presented with Powerpoint and a short video.

On the third day, the operators discussed the project the Great Plant Hunt, which brought the Hob’s project teams together in the first place and which shares many common traits with our project. Thus, it was warmly welcomed among the broader Great Plant Hunt community. Several people came to tell us afterwards that they are looking forward to the release of a handbook with lesson plans that they will integrate into their work and also disseminate among other Eco-Schools.
