Training for 20 community Eco-Mentors directly impacting 360 learners and 3000 indirectly.
The Children in the Wilderness South Africa programme is based on a foundation of Eco-Clubs. The focus of the Eco-Clubs is on teaching children about their environment and the conservation and sustainability thereof. In the process, they also learn and practice many life skills such as leadership skills, teamwork, planning, problem solving and interpersonal skills.
The Children in the Wilderness South Africa programme is based on a foundation of Eco-Clubs. These Eco-Clubs are held at the local schools where Children in the Wilderness can visit the children in their own environment and give opportunities for all learners who are interested in the environment to meet, learn, discuss and expand their knowledge of environmental issues. The focus is on teaching children about their environment and the conservation and sustainability thereof. In the process, they also learn and practice many life skills such as leadership skills, teamwork, planning, and problem solving and interpersonal skills to name a few. The principle is that by educating children on sound conservation practices, teaching them about sustainable use of resources, and creating environmental leaders, one of the key contributors to conservation would be fulfilled. To date, the Eco Clubs have provided positive community development to all children who are part of the clubs.
Children in the Wilderness have identified the need to train more mentors who will directly and indirectly reach more children than those attending the schools we work with. The Eco-Mentor Training and Development Project aims to develop the local community members by equipping them with upgraded skills in their environmental understanding and enabling them to better implement school and village environmental projects and initiatives. This project will assist in addressing the critical teaching skills shortage in environmental education in South Africa.
