Academic Curriculum Projects

Environmental education teaches students about how the planet’s physical and biological systems work, and how we can create a more sustainable future.

Therefore the Young Environmentalists Programme believes that Environmental education is a process aimed at creating awareness in the youth rather than preaching to the population. Environment education aims at

-Basic details and understanding of the environment and its relationship with man and biodiversity; learning through a fun way for the entire community to enhance a green living movement.

-Social and civic values which are in tandem with
environmental quality;

-Skills to solve environmental problems;

-Ability to evaluate environmental measures and education programmes;

-A sense of responsibility and urgency towards the environment so as to ensure appropriate actions to solve
environmental problems at high school levels. To enable the community to understand the
interdependence of all the life on this planet and how to sustain it through our green living habits. To increase people’s awareness of the economic, political, social, cultural, technological and environmental forces which foster sustainable development by networking with experts and academia.
