By means of the Interreg-project 'Green Belt' and in combination with the project `NATURA 2000 - People to nature - nature to people' teachers had a professional training at the Slovak - Austrian Green Belt for lessons relating both to nature protection, biology, environmental education, and to history. A comprehensive education book for teachers and guided excursions for schoolchildren were prepared to facilitate the understanding of the history of the 'Iron curtain' and the reasons for and ways to protect this area (local, partly endangered species and proper land management).
