Good morning friends. I’m really thankful to our government to have this programme for the teachers. This will help them a lot and we know that our children will benefit on that.
Opportunities for learning exist everywhere. CEE Ahmedabad has been conducting Green Teacher Programme which offers teachers an opportunity to empower themselves with knowledge and skills for effective transaction of concepts in environmental development in the classroom.
Teachers undergoing this programme are from various schools of the city. “The training programmes have been designed in two contact sessions to enhance knowledge, understanding and skills with regard to environment education and sustainable development,” says Shivani Jain, cordinator of the programme.
The second contact session began on Friday, Children’s Day. CEE also organised quiz competitions for kids. The idea behind weaving the programme was to facilitate teachers to introduce these themes in a graded manner in school.
“The package is based on environmental issues and are best taught and learnt by experienced teachers and educators, through activities given to them during the course,” says a program officer.
The program is designed in such a manner that it can be taught easily in schools because children are the best ambassadors for a green future. Even small actions can make a huge difference towards improving and protecting the environment.
