Join us at our April meeting to learn about Eco-Schools with Joanne Trinchero.
“Eco-Schools combines learning with hands-on experiences for an inclusive, participatory approach, as well as supporting Education for Sustainable Development in the national curriculum. With over 50% of the content in some CAPS subjects being environmental in nature, Eco-Schools makes a positive contribution towards improving education in South Africa.
Children learn about environmental issues, such as climate change and pollution and sustainable use of precious resources like water, land and energy. We instil a sense of responsibility in young people to lead more sustainable and environmentally responsible lives. Additionally, we encourage them to share their learning with family, friends and others in their communities.
By becoming conservation champions, learners have the power to make a difference in the way people treat the earth and its natural resources”.
Thursday 3 April, 6.30pm for 7pm, at the Somerset West Library Hall.
Refreshments available, car park attendant on duty.
