15.02.2016
Project climate language is supported by financial mechanism of European Economic Area, within which Latvian 4H have established the experiment descriptions and videos, training materials. There have been "party with scientists", within witch we was telling and showing both to Latvian 4H members and students, what is climate change and why we should talk, think and worry about it? We are developing the guidelines about that what can be done in nature, what can be seen in it and why should we go in nature?
