Description of the Organization

The BSP is a regional programme within the UNESCO Associated Schools network.

The objectives in the BSP are to

  • increase the awareness of the students about the environmental
    problems in the Baltic Sea Region and give them an understanding of the
    scientific, social and cultural aspects of the interdependence between
    man and nature
  • develop the abilities of the students to study changes in the environment
  • encourage students to participate in developing a sustainable future

The BSP works with the following means:

  • building networks of schools, teachers and educational institutions in the Baltic Sea Region
  • creating and developing educational approaches and joint programmes for environmental, international and sustainable development education
  • organising joint activities and events and publishing the BSP Newsletter and other relevant information

The Basic characteristics of BSP schools are

  • active participation in looking for solutions to the environmental problems in the Baltic Sea Region
  • networking
  • pilot function in promoting environmental education in the spirit of the Rio Declaration for responsible and sustainable development - Agenda 21 and Baltic 21.

The educational approach for the BSP is to

  • achieve a balance between a holistic view and individual subject studies
  • change the role of the student from passive recipient to active constructor
  • change the role of the teacher from supervisor to guide in a learning process
  • use networks to provide participants with opportunities to learn and pass along new ideas
  • use international co-operation as an inherent element of school work

Description of the Organization

We are a publishing house consisting of teachers publishing for teachers with the objective of helping with problems concerning school and youth work, e.g.:

  • Implementing curricula into everyday teaching. With concise and well organised material for further education, practical experience and training in methodology, we hope to provide complementary information     that is not covered by traditional school-books
  • Excessive workload: By providing school material that can be implemented instantly, we try to make sure teaching and engaging in youth work remains feasible
  • Problems affecting schools from the outside, like violence or lack of prospects

We develop feasible concepts for the benefit of all those involved.
