Project Blog

Our project’s blog is hosted on e-Twinning.

Project description

Connecting Woods is the result of the work of more than 150 students and 30 teachers from three different countries during 30 months.

Our work has been organised in three stages: learning about Natural Heritage, learning about the local natural heritage and its economic and social environment, finally, creating products to help other students or anyone interested in this topic. We have been working in international teams and using ICTs to create what you can find on this website.

Heritage

Heritage is everything previous generations have passed down to us and present generations will past to the future. Heritage includes landscapes, living things, monuments, objects but also values, traditions and cultural elements. Heritage can be tangible and intangible. Tangible heritage is material heritage, everything you can touch (objects, monuments, living things). Intangible heritage are values, traditions and immaterial things. Tangible heritage can be classified into Cultural Heritage and Natural Heritage.

European Natural Heritage

UNESCO (United Nations Education Science and Culture Organisation) has defined Heritage and it has a specific program to protect spaces containing material World Heritage (World Heritage Sites). Europe is the continent with more World Heritage Sites. In 2021, there were 400, 37 of which were classified as Natural World Heritage.
