What communications and dissemination strategy was used for the project ?
Cooperation with 5 schools in Małopolska was established. They are new schools which had not cooperated with the Polish Humanitarian Action in the field of global education before. Therefore, the network of schools in Małopolska implementing global education was increased by 5. All schools declared interest in further educational cooperation with the Polish Humanitarian Action. Teachers from these schools pass on the information concerning cooperation with the Polish Humanitarian Action and educational projects of the Foundation.
What outcomes and changes did the project generate ?
Within the framework of the Project, the Polish Humanitarian Action reached 5 new school environments in Małopolska with the message concerning global problems, including mainly the problem of the lack of access to water, food and education, in connection with the subject of crises and humanitarian aid. This contributed to the increase of social awareness and responsibility among students and teachers concerning the above subjects. Cooperation with 5 schools in Małopolska was established. The Project included a number of educational activities addressed to both teachers and students.
What difficulties did you encounter when implementing your project ?
The problem faced during the implementation of the Project was the limited possibility of organising additional, extracurricular workshops for students, related to the necessity of carrying out the teaching programme by teachers.
What factors made it easier to carry out your project ?
The implementation of the Project was facilitated by cooperation with teachers - trained and motivated to implement global education in their schools. Another facilitating factor was the fact that a majority of schools were located in the territory of Cracow, which is the seat of the regional office of the Polish Humanitarian Action.
Which factors are most related to global education ?
The culmination of the Project were the awareness-raising activities carried out by students at schools during the Global Education Week. Partner schools were involved in the Global Education Week and developed interesting and diverse projects, both in terms of content: access to water, access to food, access to education, humanitarian aid, and in terms of form: Oxford-style debate, field game, photographic competition, exhibitions, charity action, student presentation in other classes; the projects were created by students - project leaders, and their recipients were the entire school community and local environment, e.g. visitors, parents, Commune Office.
How did you assess the project ?
During the evaluation, each of the 5 schools participating in the Project prepared a report on the conducted activities. Moreover, after the trainings, the foundation ran a survey among teachers and prepared a collective summary of evaluation surveys for teachers participating in trainings on this basis.

Environment and natural resources
Polska Akcja Humanitarna (The Polish Humanitarian Action, PAH) has been implementing projects in the field of global education, which enjoy wide interest of teachers and students, for many years. The need to implement such projects results e.g. from the new curriculum, approved by the Ministry of National Education in 2008, which introduces global education content during classes. This obliges teachers to take them into consideration during classes. At the same time, the Project forms a part of educational activities oriented towards raising awareness and understanding global issues and interdependencies in accordance with the Development Cooperation Act and Multiannual Development Cooperation Programme for 2012-2015. According to the research, there is a large need for providing substantive, methodological and training support for teachers.
