Abstract
In the process of conservation of geological heritage should be involved, in addition to specialists, local communities, rangers, authorities and tourists. This requires an appropriate educational setting to organize and coordinate the activities of identification, evaluation and protection of geodiversity. This framework can be assured by the curricula for learning the values of nature, which is a concept proposed by Grundtvig project "Lena-Learning nature values in Europe" in the period 2012-2014, under the "Lifelong Learning" Program funded by the European Commission, with the participation of environmental associations, groups of specialists and learners from Estonia, Italy, Finland and Romania. A curricula for learning nature values it`s a document structured in such a way to allow all interested parties of nature the acquisition of knowledge and skills to identify, evaluate, promotion, development and preservation of natural elements belonging to biodiversity and geodiversity. This study proposes a curriculum for learning geodiversity, i.e. geological structures (rocks, minerals, fossils), soils and landforms with scientific, ecological, aesthetic, cultural and economic values. The application in practice of this curricula was done with the opportunity of setting up the Action Plan for conservation of geodiversity from Bistriţa Ardeleană Gorge (Bistriţa-Năsăud County, Romania), which was attended by several stakeholders (county and local authorities, local community, students, pupils, mountain rescuers).
