The environment of the Baltic and farming in the Eastern European and Baltic countries are under debate.
Must the farms in the East be as
efficient and competitive as e.g. Danish farms, and what will be the
consequences of this?
How can the new EU-countries
learn from the experience that has been gained in the old EU-countries?
Why is paper industry a problem?
What are the consequences of oil
spill from ships?
How well is waste water cleaned?
How are farming areas used?
What is the significance of
salinity for plants and animals?

The teaching material about the
The material consists of five main pages and a number of topical pages.
The idea for this material comes from the leadership from Fyns Amt (The
GLOBE-Danmark has supported the work on this
teaching material financially.
The objective is to bring a report with a very large amount of
documented material – which really has a political aim, cf
the Helsinki convention and the EU – into the everyday teaching, and to supply
and link material as a help to thematic teaching, sparing the individual
teacher the work of digging up relevant material.
The main pages are closely linked to the material from the
BERNET-report. One important exception is the page about natural geography
where the formation of the Baltic since the ice age is described. This material
is used with the permission from GEUS. On the topical pages is some material
from the BERNET- report, but to some extent new material and links are being added.
The material can also be used in interdisciplinary teaching in the
‘gymnasium and hf’. It is possible to remain on a
more superficial level, but it is also possible to dig into deeper analyses of
one or more of the many subjects that are treated within the circle of
environmental problems around the Baltic. Thus, one can include a varying
amount of material depending on the level of the students and the time
allocated.
Some links lead to Danish pages, some to Nordic, of which some are in
English.
