This work aims to present the work done so far by the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB) within the project E-learning from Nature. The project includes, at national level, a network of secondary schools from the district of Bragança and aims to promote a proactive students’ approach to scientific subjects learning and propose innovative teaching methodologies to science teachers. Five geographical areas of natural interest have been selected: Azibo Reservoir Protected Landscape, Douro International Natural Park, Montesinho Natural Park, Landscapes of Serra da Nogueira and the Cork oak forests of Jerusalém do Romeu. Among the scientific topics to be illustrated by examples found in nature, Mathematics, Biology, Geology, Physics, Chemistry and/or Geography are in focus. Apart from the work to be done at national level, a fruitful cooperation is expected from the exchange of experiences among the international partners (Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Greece, Lithuania, Portugal and Romania).
