    • Organising and conducting training for environmental educators from all Carpathian countries. Model examples can be demonstrated on how to use the handbook to increase the quality of environmental education. The participants from each country can initiate training programme for teachers and environmental educators in their home countries. In this way, educators will be able to include Carpathian biodiversity topics in their lesson plans. Teaching handbooks will be provided mainly to teachers who will participate in training programmes and receive the appropriate "know-how".
    • Translating the handbook into Romanian, Czech, Serbian, Ukrainian and Hungarian languages so that all 7 Carpathian countries has the handbook in national language. Printing the manual for use in individual countries - the number of copies will depend on the demand in each country.
    • Preparing and conducting training sessions for primary school teachers/environmental educators using the handbook and set of teaching aids - in each country individually.
