Cooperation
External Partners
The IWSS is involved! Besides the close cooperation with all IWSS network partners the IWSS also integrates international “Wadden perspectives” in regional and inter-regional projects of other partners related to environmental education and education for a sustainable development (ESD).
Die IWSS ist Parnter im Netzwerk der Meeresbürger! Als einer von 52 Naturerlebnis- partnern bietet die IWSS spannende Infos und Einblicke in die Welt der Meere. Wie Sie MeeresBürger werden können, erfahren Sie hier.
Among these are:
- National Park Agency / Environmental Academy of Schleswig-Holstein
- Working Group on ESD in the National Park region
The working group brings together educational centres and initiatives of the National Park region to supports their communication, cooperation and quality management in the field of “Education for Sustainable Development” – an important issue also for the IWSS. - National Park Summer Camp
Getting to know your “own” Wadden Sea: in cooperation with the National Park Agency, the National Park Service and Schutzstation Wattenmeer the IWSS has arranged a Summer Camp for children from North Frisia and Dithmarschen, the two counties bordering the Wadden Sea of Schleswig-Holstein. - Wadden Sea National Park Resource Package
The new collection of teaching resources from the three German Wadden Sea National Parks includes a chapter about “Wadden Sea English”. Extracts from “Conny´s Wadden Adventures” motivate for further trilateral Wadden experience.
- Working Group on ESD in the National Park region
- Schutzstation Wattenmeer
- Teacher training courses
In cooperation with Schutzstation Wattenmeer the IWSS offers teacher training courses upon request about all aspects of the (inter-)national Wadden Sea – in the IWSS partner centre “Wattenmeerhaus Hooge” or elsewhere. - School Tour
From 2008 the English IWSS-activity „Conny´s Wadden Adventures“ will be offered as individual programme of the “School Tour”. With Conny Crab and her friends children get to know the Wadden Sea as a cross-border habitat and practice English as common language of understanding.
