Draft Project with IVN


In August 2008, PINPG commenced talks with IVN – Association for Environmental Education, Non Government Organisation from Holland in relation to development of a Draft Project to be submitted to MATRA – Holland Government project program.

Firstly, two starting points were considered for development of the Draft Project.

1. The development of the Visitor Centre for National Park Galicica is in the focus of the project.

2. The future development of National Park Galicica is in the focus of the project.

 

On the bases of this, during the period from 22nd to 29th of December 2008, delegation made up of two representatives from IVN visited PINPG for a discussion about these ideas and for a final concept of the project. After a series of consultations with the expert team of PINPG, the partners agreed to apply for a project with a general goal of Strategy development for Environmental Education and furnish the Visitor Centre of National Park Galicica. The project will be conducted by PINP Galicica and IVN. Training will attend employees of Public Institution National Park Mavrovo, Public Institution National Park Pelister, National Park Prespa Albania, Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning of Republic of Macedonia, Public Relations Office, Mountaineering Society Magaro from Ohrid, Museum of Natural Science – Skopje, Macedonia and Museum of Natural Science – Struga, Macedonia.

 

The partners have agreed for the concrete goals of the project to be:
