About the project
Modern age presumes life in a highly digital and technologically advanced world full of challenges, just like the science of meteorology itself. And often we tend to forget the tradition and we look suspiciously on what is old. The aim of the project is to combine the tradition and contemporary, elderly and the young ones, we would like to resurface folk beliefs and meteorology from the abyss of oblivion and reimagine them in digital comics and books that will appeal to future generations. We would like to get to know the folk meteorology of other countries and cultures and thus united in diversity to build a world based upon a sustainable development and respect for each other.

WORK PROCESS
Communication among partners will take place trough different platforms which partners will agree upon, considering the safety of students online. The coordinator will oversee the communication between partners and control the implementation of all the planned activities. Partners will share responsibilities for individual activities. Students from each partner school will make surveys, conduct interviews with elderly population and create digital comics. Selected students will present the best works of their part of the project to other partners and the international team of students (one student from each partner school) will create a unique e-book containing selected works of each partner schools.

The final product of the project, digital book containg comics and surveys about folk meteorology will be published on Twinspace, other educational web sites (e.g. Edutorij), and web pages of every partner school for general purpose and use. Also, the digital book will be a part of the curriculum of the geography, history, and other social studies subjects.
