Students will investigate to find examples of co-existence of the nature and people in city environments. The most interesting examples the better. The subject is also to present how people try to support city animals and plants to adapt, and sometimes to survive in the best conditions for them. Moreover, students will explore city fauna and flora to nominate for 10 *City Super Stars*..

2. The symphony of nature
We will prepare the mix of sounds composed of pieces sent by participants to have in final a kind of ‘symphony of nature' for Asia and Europe.

Project include:

• Presentation of the animals and plants living freely in the city and around & nominations to "International City Super Stars". Producing a paper calendar with photos of presented species.

• Presentation of several examples which will express the harmonic coexistence between ‘nature and city' - photos, descriptions, movies - and how animals and plants adapted as well as how people support them (preparing a food for city birds, electronic water systems for gardens, etc.).

• Recorded pieces of sounds of nature in the garden, or city park, but also in the jungle (if possible) like animal voices, water, but also storms etc. from over Asia and Europe to produce a final product - mixed of all parts 'Asia-Europe symphony of nature'.. From pieces we will produce a collection of 'ring tones'

• Quizzes about flora and fauna including presentation of national/local symbols, which includes elements of nature (animal, plant) with explanation why such element is placed in the emblem.
