NP Krka is another one of those ”must visit” places when in Croatia, and yes, there are many such destinations to be found here. The whole ”must see” thing has become a little saturated over recent years, especially with the rise of self-proclaimed travel bloggers and social media influencers, however, there is much more to this stunning national park than just the ability to take artistic Instagram pictures.
NP Krka is involving itself in the education of school children in the Dalmatian county in which the park is situated through a praiseworthy project aimed at increasing kids’ overall awareness of both protected areas and nature and the environment.
As Morski writes on the 3rd of April, 2019, the highly visited NP Krka actually launched the project “Let’s fill up the school libraries” (Popunimo školske knjižnice), for primary and secondary schools of the Šibenik-Knin County back in 2007.
The aim of the project is to make the books published within the framework of this educational scope available to school-age children and other young people, so that they can contribute to their own respective awareness of the country’s numerous protected areas and the need to take care of their surroundings, including the importance of the proper preservation of the environment.
Since back in 2007, VHS tapes and later on, DVDs covering a wide array of topics related to NP Krka and its environment and native wildlife and birds have been shared around numerous local schools within the aforementioned county in Dalmatia. In February this year, a total of 49 books were distributed to thirty-six primary and thirteen high schools in the county.
NP Krka’s administration and staff believe that this year’s gift to local schools will be used by students and their mentors and teachers not only as an additional teaching aid for the classroom but that it will also encourage children to go out and get to know and further explore the rich natural beauty and the cultural heritage of the beautiful NP Krka.
