Regional character
of the programme

The programme started for the first time as a pilot project in 1999 in the Republic of Macedonia. Soon afterwards, because of the schools' interest and the support of the Education Development Bureau, the programme was extended to the whole territory of the Republic of Macedonia. Today it covers all the primary schools and preschool institutions in the Republic of Macedonia.

At the end of the year 2000 and during 2001, the programme was extended to all primary schools in Kosovo with the cooperation of the departments of Education and Ecology of UNMIK. The materials were translated in Serbian, Albanian, and Romany, and distributed in Kosovo's schools, in the classes from 1 st to 8 th grade.

In the year 2002, the programme continued on the territory of the Republic of Serbia, and the local Ministries of Education and Sport, and Environment and Natural Resources protection supported it. Pupils from 7 municipalities got the necessary materials in their mother tongue, and are using them in the educational process with the help of their teachers.
