Abstract
The attitude of an individual to various phenomena, the environment among them, to great extent depends on understanding these issues. The world experience with eco-team activities as a means of building environmental understanding has already been known for more than a decade. Alongside with the foreign experience, this article gives an insight in the process of eco-team formation in the Baltics, especially in Latvia.
The first results allow us to look upon eco-teams as a new and ambitious pedagogical strategy that is a good incentive to introduce the environmental education as a school subject to build a comprehensive and caring attitude towards the nature and the processes inside it.
