ERASMUS+ "Breath of the Earth" (BRO)

The Earth “breathes.” This is particularly evident in karst landscapes, which are formed by the dissolution and carbonation of limestone. Typically, these landscapes feature caves, springs, sinkholes, and underground river systems. In such landscapes, water, rock, air, and life interact in a dynamic interplay. The Erasmus+ project “Breath of The Earth” (BRO for short) enables students from various regions of Europe to learn about the karst phenomenon. The focus is on carbon dioxide, which acts as a mediator between inanimate matter and living nature. The goal of the project is to make natural phenomena tangible and to foster an understanding of ecological relationships. This website presents the project’s activities and the karst regions explored.
