Abstract
The GLOBE program is an international, science and education program that has been implemented in the Republic of Croatia since 1995 on the basis of an international agreement. Schools involved in the program perform measurements and observations in their environment, in the field of atmosphere, soil, water, land cover and record the results in a common database. The program requires daily atmospheric measurements and students' field trips for measurements and observations in the field of water, soil and cover research. The modernity of GLOBE educational component can be recognized in following features: interdisciplinarity, experiential learning, hands on and field work, the use of modern technology. All this, along with students' teamwork and the skills of orientation in the unknown area, is promoted by the GLOBE Survey Competition, as the part of Annual meetings of GLOBE schools. These meetings represent an opportunity for GLOBE participants to gather, make new contacts and exchange experiences of GLOBE implementation. During 22 years of implementation, these meetings have proven as a significant motivating factor for the implementation of the GLOBE Program.
