The project aim of the HiS!CiSS project is to empower students and teachers in Zlin Province in the Czech Republic to understand and analyze the interactions between climate, environment, and health through citizen science activities.

By integrating environmental and health indicators, the project aims to foster a deeper understanding of planetary health, strengthen scientific literacy, and encourage evidence-based thinking. Through hands-on research using innovative methods (e.g., dendrochronology, ecoacoustics, biometeorology), students will develop methodological competencies in data collection, analysis, and interpretation.

Additionally, the project seeks to raise awareness of the interconnection between environmental changes and human health, ultimately promoting sustainable behavior and climate adaptation strategies.
