The role that insects play in our lives and their importance to humanity is a complex of various fundamental components that
affect humanity and its life on our planet (Einstein: If the bee disappeared from the face of the earth, man would have no
more than four years to live). Within the current themes of the environment, climate and human responsibility for destroying
our environment in a way that is leading to the extinction of many species, students are given the opportunity to explore
important themes in the life of insects in science subjects, but also to express their feelings and attitudes in art, literature and
humanities subjects to develop a holistic view of the value of insects, especially bees, to humanity. Subjects in which pupils
will explore the role of insects in human life will include skills acquired in environmental formation and ecology, biology,
chemistry, agriculture, geography, ICT, languages, history, literature, philosophy and art. Pupils from the 3 partner
institutions will share their experiences of global problems related to the lack of bees and important insects that are
indispensable for life on our Earth. Students will verify scientific facts about pollinating insects (bees, bumblebees), their
habitat and evolution, uses, threat of extinction, etc.
