Abstract:
The basic means of ensuring the principle of sustainability within society is education. Geotourism with its means represents an ideal environment for an effective educational process suitable for the general public. The education process through experience ensures its attractiveness. Experiential education in the field of primary education addresses pupils within their classical educational process and adds added value to this process. The application of outdoor science lessons opens up new possibilities and new ways for both, the student and the teacher. It increases the demand and interest in information and diversifies the learning process by experience. Geoparks currently represent a modern product of geotourism, which offers the satisfaction of several diverse needs in one place - experience, tourism, education, health, ecology, sports, culture, etc. The interplay of all involved components is a prerequisite for the positive impact of the geopark existence. Its educational function is a suitable tool involving the general public in the process of raising general awareness.
