Social Ecology and Oral History Project "Active Education"

Abstract

The idea of the “Active education” means the opportunity for children to study the surrounding world not only by textbooks or with the help of the sites in the INTERNET (a rather passive action) but also by a direct contact with this world via its active investigation and solution of some concrete problems.This may be the study of environmental contamination and other modern practical ecological problems such as the transformation of the agriculture production resulting from climatic variations or anthropogenic changes of landscapes.
