Learners' Guide 4 - Working for better Rivers in the Baltic Sea.

The book deals with rivers as an educational challenge in environmental education in art, social studies and science looking for experiences with rivers and nature and for solutions to the environmental impact caused by human activities. International teachers training with the Baltic Sea Project, supported by UNESCOs Participation Programme 1988-1999, took place in Finland (1998), Lithuania (1999) and Latvia (1999). The meeting served as forum for discussions among specialists, students and teachers who contributed with their experiences and ideas.
