Sažetak
Northern Velebit is a Croatian pearl which in the context of education in the 21st century,
nature protection, confronting the endangerment of nature and climatic changes could become
a significant European centre. Besides the evaluation, protection of nature and contribution to
education from the nursery to lifelong learning, the development in this direction opens new
workplaces and raises the quality of life of the local community. The Northern Velebit National
Park is a location which in synergy with the infrastructure and logistic elements in Kras, Otočac
and Senj, along with the support of European funds, can develop on contemporary educational
concepts of the 21st century.
Especially the underground of Velebit, in other words, its numerous speleological phenomena,
represent an excellent example of why it is necessary to connect the geological, biological and
climatic aspects of the protected location.
The high level of unexplored karst phenomena of the Northern Velebit National Park
and the potentials for new discoveries open the possibilities of generating dynamic educational
contents which can be supplemented through continuous collaboration with experts. The discovery
of something new until then unknown, unusual and unexpected is something which with the
corresponding presentation techniques can awaken interest in the natural sciences in pupils and
students, in other words, in accordance with the recommendations of the European Commission
awaken the interest in the education of science and STEM regions.
